Final update: The WTOP Click for a Cause contest is now over and the unofficial standings have us in 5th place with more than 2,600 votes. While we didn’t finish in the top 3, I could not be more proud of the effort that we made. Over the last 12 days, I have seen more support & love for our organization than ever before and it’s been amazing to witness the teamwork, energy, and spirit from our community. We may not have earned the most votes in the contest, but without a doubt we had the most HEART! I cannot say thank you enough for rallying around our organization and believing in our mission, our programs, and our people. We will only continue to grow stronger and make a meaningful difference for those experiencing a pregnancy loss. Thank you so much for all of your support, and don’t worry, we’ll get them next year!
With gratitude, HoneySpider
We are in the FINAL HOURS of the contest and we could really use your help! Through the Heart is currently in 4th place and is just a few hundred votes out of the top 3. Voting ends TODAY at 5pm EST! The standings as of Friday morning are:
Please vote and help us take home some much-needed funding for our pregnancy loss programs! To put it in perspective, the top prize is $12,000, which is more than our entire 2015 budget. Needless to say this money would make a monumental difference. Some of the organizations we are competing against have multi-million dollar budgets. We are THE underdog of the contest!
That's it! No info is collected and it takes less than a minute. It doesn't show up on your FB account/feed. It's completely anonymous.
THANK YOU to all of you who have been voting, sharing on FB, retweeting, sending via email, or getting the word out in any other way. I appreciate it SO MUCH! We can do this!!

Most of this wording was 'borrowed' from osulori but I added in the 1 in 4 statistic. I didn't want to bring up my own loss, but wanted to include how common it is.
"I'm not one to post stuff asking for votes, but I am in this instance so you'd better vote! Through the Heart is an organization providing support to families that have experienced a pregnancy loss. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss and most suffer alone. This is a wonderful charity that provides comfort for families during a very difficult and lonely time.
They are taking part in a contest that is awarding monetary donations to the top three vote getters, and they are currently in 5th place! Please take a second to vote by clicking on the link...you will have to scroll down to "Through the Heart" (pink and blue heart logo) and click the "like" button."

Yup! This is what I used. I shared her post and added this text at the top:
Hey Friends! Please take a quick second (and I mean a quick second - it only takes one!) to vote for this amazing organization that my friend, Karen, runs. Her Organization, "Through the Heart," has helped so many women I know through pregnancy loss. She provides free support to women and their families (ALL OVER THE COUNTRY!) who have experienced this loss. She has the RARE opportunity to win enough money to more than cover their 2015 budget and send her "Comfort Kits" to 1,000 grieving mothers. All you have to do is click the link below, click the letter "T" on the page to find "Through the Heart" among the listed organizations, and click "Like." No registration or hassle required to vote! It's truly a quick process. Thank you!
