The NFL is a finalist for Pepsi’s Refresh Everything grant, which helps groups from across the country improve their local communities. The NFL’s proposal will create weekend-long communication leadership summits in six major cities for students and teachers in Title I schools. Most of the grant money will be given directly to students, teachers, and coaches in the six major cities we serve. That’s over $210,000 directly into the hands of deserving students and educators.
The NFL needs you to help them reach their goal. Grant recipients will be decided by community votes. Voting is open now! You may vote every day from today through the end of February. The site uses Facebook Connect so you will not need to create a new account on the Pepsi site.
Please visit http://www.refresheverything.com/nfl now to read the NFL’s entire proposal and vote to make speech and debate education available to new populations.

This is ironic after Mr. Peele’s post. “Hey, we know we’re in trouble for pursuing corporate sponsorship, but instead of resolving that first, we’re just gonna seek more. CMON NFL”
I think there is a big difference in taking money from a main stream major advertiser such as pepsi and from a lessor known entity. You might find that Pepsi money comes from a public relations budget. Any money going to debaters and educators is okay with me. Quite different from money going to the NFL.
