Two of our fellow career and technical student organizations (CTSOs) are competing for awards in the Pepsi Refresh Program this month and both have asked for SkillsUSA member support. DECA is a finalist in this month’s Pepsi Refresh Program for a $250,000 award and FCCLA (Family Career and Community Leaders of America) is a finalist for a $50,000 award. Grants are awarded by popular vote and you can vote up to once each day. Since no other CTSO is competing for an award this month, we encourage our members and friends to vote for both of these organizations.

To vote, click on the following links and once you are in, click “Vote for this idea.” DECA: www.refresheverything.com/decainspires and FCCLA: www.refresheverything.com/empowerfcclastudentleaders.

There is also a variety of state and local CTSO projects competing at different grant levels. You can vote for up to 10 projects each day, so we also encourage you to look at those projects and cast your vote in support. The last day you can vote this month will be April 30.
