a might alumni base and they got nothing. How hard was this???? Sabach
was lobbying on Facebook and he did a great job for Crown. What happen
to all these other corps with these HUGE alumni and fan bases??? BD,
Madison, Vanguard. All top 12 corps should have made it !

...interesting that there were *no* "Open Division" corps garnering
funds. Wanna save a drumcorps...or help the rich get richer?
The above is not to degrade the efforts of those groups recieving
money, on the contrary; it's a great example of how you can get things
done with paid (and well informed) administration.

Bayonne and Hawthorne, too, among others. Didn't they have a 2 per
state rule or something? If so, if Phantom and Cavies won, that knocked
Madison out.
All I know is, if that's my bail-out money they're throwing around, I'm
glad some of it wound up in the pockets of drum corps!

Talkin' 'bout this:
Chase and Facebook Announce 100 Small and Local Charities to Receive
$25,000 Each From Chase Community Giving
More than 1 million fans turn out to support small charities as part of
new method of corporate giving
New York and Palo Alto, Calif., December 16, 2009 - Chase and Facebook
today announced the 100 small and local charities that each will receive
a $25,000 grant from Chase and now have a chance to receive a Million
Dollar Grant, following Facebook users' voting in Round One of Chase
Community Giving.
More than 1 million fans signed up for Chase Community Giving in Round
One of the program. Eligible charities included 501(c)(3) charities with
an operating budget of $10 million or less, serving the general public
in designated areas. Round One ended at midnight on Dec. 12 and
culminated with a surge of voting in the last week.
"We were pleased to see the level of enthusiasm and support that Round
One generated. Interestingly, only two of the 100 organizations
overlapped with our existing giving portfolio, which confirmed our early
view that this method of giving would indeed complement our traditional
giving, while sparking innovation," said Kim Davis, president of the
JPMorgan Chase Foundation.
"This has been one of the most popular crowdsourcing campaigns in
Facebook history. Millions of people using Facebook have taken up the
Chase challenge to demonstrate the power of crowdsourcing for
philanthropic giving," said Elliot Schrage, vice president of global
communications and policy at Facebook. "The program is unique in that a
person can leverage their vote on Facebook -- in addition to their
wallet -- to collectively help those in need during the holidays or
support a cause important to them."
The 100 charities announced today span 31 states and serve the public in
a variety of areas such as:
* supporting families and children battling Autism, Muscular
Dystrophy, heart disease, cancer, infectious disease and many other
illnesses;
* improving the lives of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans and their
families;
* providing the homeless with basic human needs and services;
* helping families displaced by Hurricane Katrina move back into
their homes;
* international aid for the underserved in rural China, Turkey, Sri
Lanka and other locations;
* rebuilding communities ravaged by war;
* providing greater access to college for disadvantaged students; and
* supporting local music, theater and creative and performing arts
groups.
"Chase Community Giving provided benefits to all of the small and local
charities throughout the country that mobilized their supporters and
spread their message," said NBA hall-of-famer and Chase Community Giving
Advisory Board Member David Robinson. "Even for charities that are not
among today's top 100, the program offered all participating
organizations a national platform to promote their missions, attract new
supporters and gain visibility."
Chase Community Giving, a grassroots campaign launched November 16 to
inspire a new way of corporate philanthropy, allowed Facebook's 350
million users to chose from more than 500,000 of their favorite small
and local charities and vote for them to win their share of $5 million.
Throughout the campaign, Chase Community Giving fans nominated tens of
thousands of charities from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Throughout the nearly four weeks of Round One voting, thousands of local
charities created their own grassroots campaigns to encourage supporters
to get out the vote, using e-mail campaigns, appearances on the local
evening news, Facebook status updates and Wall posts and many other methods.
In Round Two, the 100 organizations from Round One will have the option
to submit a Million Dollar Grant proposal to Facebook users, detailing
the difference they would make in their local community with the
significant extra resources. Facebook users will vote starting January
15, and on or around February 1, one organization will receive $1
million from Chase, provided all eligibility requirements and standards
have been met and reviewed by the Chase Community Giving Advisory Board.
Five additional organizations will receive $100,000 each. Also, the
Advisory Board will select additional nominated charities from either
round to share in another $1 million.
In addition to the donations made through the program, Chase will
provide a $25,000 honorarium to each Board member who does not work for
Chase or Facebook, which will be donated by Chase to the charity of the
member's personal choice.
JPMorgan Chase donates a total of more than $100 million annually to
more than 3,000 non-profit organizations in local communities,
nationally and abroad. This $5 million Facebook effort is in addition to
the bank's traditional philanthropic giving, and if successful, the bank
hopes to commit more of its annual philanthropy funds using this
innovative method of giving.
The 100 organizations moving on to Round Two include:

This is the first that I've heard of such a vote. And obviously a little
late to vote. Nice to see some corps make the cut. I'd rather get money
like this than 50x $500 car washes (per year).
Not that the money cares, but where is that dough coming from? Drug
ties? Bailouts? Increased fees to customers? Lower pay to employees?
Fewer employees? Outsourcing jobs to 3rd world countries? The selling
of a $52 million facility for 0.5 million? It's nice to see the giving,
if it actually happens. But I've seen PR stunts like this before, and
come time to actually sign a check....... Too good to be true?

Don't blame me, Charlie. I voted for Kalamazoo Legends and Jersey Surf in
addition to my vote for Glassmen.

Just remembered, I also voted for VK. The rest of my votes went to science
and environmental charities in addition to the local Humane Society.

Shit... I'd like you to SHOW UP for a reunion for a drum and bugle
corps that you belonged to. Instead.
What about writing for a publication devoted to drum corps? You still
the EXPERT?
I don't pay money to read your comments on the evolution of this
