For a little while I’ve been seeing people on Facebook voting for schools in a Kohl’s Cares contest, but I wasn’t really paying much attention (yes, it seems most people are starting to get tired of Facebook, am I right?). Until I found out that my old school (I would say high school, but I went there much longer than that, 5th through 12th grade actually!) is very, very close to winning half a million dollars!
Since most of you probably aren’t familiar with my school, it is Life Center Academy in Burlington, NJ. It is a very small private school that doesn’t receive state or federal funding. LCA and it’s parent church, The Fountain of Life Center, operate tons of charitable outreaches including scholarship programs, community events and their famous Easter play (which if you are remotely in the South Jersey area, you have probably heard of!)
Well I said all that to say that they are a very deserving school in the Kohl’s Cares contest and casting votes for them is super easy and doesn’t cost a thing. All you have to do is click this link and place 5 votes for Life Center Academy in Burlington, NJ and if you could share it on Facebook or Twitter and encourage others to do the same, then you’re a doll. You can still vote for other schools as well, but time is ticking to get LCA into the top twenty. As of right now they are #30!!
Thanks a bunch for your help, I know they are looking for anyone to spread the word and since I have such a big platform here on the blog 
I thought it was the least I could do!

And also LCA supports great missions trips every year for the seniors…NO disney world for these guys (we love Disney though) they go to another country to help build schools/orphanages etc!!!
Sorry to bother what with the moving etc but I’ve tried emailing your contact button and the gmail bounces back. I wanted to let you know that I’ve never received the Whiplash scooter that won here back in June. Could you possibly contact the sponsor about it? Thanks

Please vote for Life Center Academy, It’s a very school, my grandchildren goes their
May the most deserving schools win.
I’ve voted for East Side Community High School of New York. They are a Title 1 school with little to no resources. Unfortunately this Kohl’s Cares challenge looks like it will go to the schools that already have substantial budgets in place and were able to market themselves the best with those budget dollars and not the schools that really really need this money.
Again, may the most deserving schools win… and not the ones with the biggest advertising budgets.
Consider helping East Side Community High climb the ranks and use your extra votes for them. They are the only Title 1 school that even has a chance. Their principle has camped out in a tent in the front of his school for over a week now and brought together the community with his students and they could really use your help. It would be a beautiful thing to show these kids that the world really cares about them.
I’m giving away my artwork for free if you vote for East Side Community High – no strings. Just vote for a really under served and deserving school. Details are on my blog. http://bit.ly/cKkdkW
