Chase Will Donate at Least $10K (If YOU Vote)

The Greater Chicago Ferret Association was nominated for the Chase Community Giving Program 2012!

This is an incredible opportunity to win at least $10,000. For the GCFA it means rent and utilities would be covered for at least 6 more months! When every month is a struggle, this sizeable grant would not relax our efforts, but would give us some peace of mind!

Please vote and share the information and encourage friends, family and co-workers to vote. This is not an every day grind, it’s only 3-5 votes and sharing. Votes must be cast between September 6^th and September 19^th. You can cast your votes any time during this period, but the sooner each of us do and share, we maximize our reach for the most votes possible. Please keep your eyes peeled! We will share more information as it becomes available!

Since you must cast votes for multiple charities, the GCFA is partnering with the Animal Care League of Oak Park. Please consider using your “second votes” for the Animal Care League. The ACL will be reciprocating the favor! They too rescue, shelter, love & care for, and find forever homes for the neglected, unwanted and abused pets. Shelters helping shelters!

RULES SIMPLIFIED

Standard Votes: Chase Customers with a Chase online account will receive 2 votes automatically and must vote for 2 different charities at www.ChaseGiving.com. ALL Facebook users who allow “Access” to the Chase Community Giving application will receive 2 votes to be used towards 2 different charities. Chase customers can vote at BOTH www.Chase Giving.com AND Facebook. So, for Chase Customers, initially a total of 4 votes, split between 2 charities. Please consider using your second vote for Animal Care League.

Bonus Vote: Facebook users can earn a “bonus vote” by allowing “Access” and sharing content from the Chase Community Giving application to his/her Facebook newsfeed or timeline. If a Facebook friend links back to the Chase Community Giving Application, the original Facebook user (you) will earn the bonus vote so you can vote for your favorite charity AGAIN. Notification of this bonus vote will show up on your Facebook page.

Chase customers with a Chase online account have the opportunity to vote 5 times: 3 times for the GCFA (if you earn the bonus vote) and twice for the Animal Care League.

Non-Chase Facebook users will have the opportunity to vote 3 times (if you earn the

bonus vote), twice for the GCFA and once for the Animal Care League.

If you bank with Chase, but do not have an online account, please consider setting one up as you will receive extra votes as noted above. Here is the link:
