Heroes Night Out in Cedar Park is enlisting area residents to help the organization win a $25,000 The Home Depot gift card by voting daily in September in The Home Depot Foundation?s second annual Aprons in Action Facebook contest.
Voting begins Saturday and runs through Sept. 30 at facebook.com/homedepotfoundation. The organization that receives the most votes during the month will win the $25,000 prize to help fund an organizational or community improvement project, and will have the opportunity to compete for the grand prize of $250,000 at the end of the year-long program.
In the September round of the competition, Heroes Night Out is competing against three other veterans-focused organizations across the country including AMVETS Post 44 in Struthers, Ohio; HVAF of Indiana in Indianapolis, Ind.; and US VETS Barber?s Point in Kapolei, Hawaii. The runner-up organizations will receive $5,000 in The Home Depot gift cards.
?If we win the $25,000 from The Home Depot we would be able to renovate a disabled veteran?s home and ensure his home is enjoyable and accessible for him and his family,? said Tim Stroud, HNO advisor. ?So help us make a difference by voting everyday on Facebook, and tell everyone you know to do the same!?
The final percentages of votes for each nonprofit will be posted on The Home Depot and The Home Depot Foundation?s Facebook pages 8 a.m. Oct. 1.
For more information and to view the program rules, visit The Home Depot on Facebook or go to homedepotfoundation.org.
