Vote For Santee Santas, Help Them Win $5,000

The "Mission Possible Charity Challenge" is offering serious money for a local charity, and Santee's most jolly nonprofit is looking for your vote.

, in conjunction with Clear Channel Broadcasting, is sponsoring the 2012 “Mission Possible Charity Challenge,” wherein $5,000 will be donated to the winning charity- and is already nominated.

Voting starts today, March 1 and runs through March 28. Santee Santas Foundation is already in the running and you may vote once a day during the voting period. You do not need to be a member of Mission Federal Credit Union to participate, but you do need to “Like” Mission Federal on Facebook.  A copy of the official rules is attached. 

If you recall, had a 22% increase in recipients in 2011 and our donations were very low, and we anticipate 2012 to be no different.  We could sure use the $5,000 donation this year!
