McAlister's Deli Corporation is conducting a contest between every community in Amaerica that has a McAlister's location. Whichever community receives the most votes will receive a $15,000 grant to a local charity...ours is Project Team Up. We have a deep respect not only for the work this organization is doing, but also for the rebuilding focus you have demonstrated. This organization, founded by Coach Nick Saban and his wife, deserves our help.

Voting is easy. Go to www.teatownusa.com. It will direct you to the McAlister’s Deli Tea Freaks Facebook page (You first have to ‘like’ the Tea Freaks Page before you can vote, but you only have to ‘like’ the page the first time). From there, click on the link for Tea Town USA, located on the left hand side of the page. Enter Tuscaloosa and click vote (The very first time you vote you will have to ‘allow’ this application, then refresh your page, reenter Tuscaloosa and then click vote.)

We need everyone to work together to win this grant. If we can get everyone that has focused their energy over the last two months to join together, we can do this! Please assist us in communicating this message to all of your email and Facebook contacts! Also be sure to “Share” it on your Facebook and Twitter pages. The more we get the word out, the more votes our community gets and the closer we are to receiving $15,000!

Perhaps most importantly, help us make sure that everyone knows that they can vote once a day, every day until the promotion ends on July 28th! (‘Vote once a day, every day, all the way to 15K!’)

Once the message is in their hands, this will take a life of its own.

There are also lots of fun games, contests and challenges that everyone can participate in to win prizes and extra points for Tuscaloosa!

Thanks for all you do. T-Town, Never Down!
