VANCITY MEMBER SMH NOMINATED FOR PEPSI REFRESH $100,000 GRANT PLEASE VOTE FOR US!!!

Vancouver-based Stand Up For Mental Health has been Nominated for a $100,000 Pepsi Refresh Grant. Our SMH Days on Campus Comedy Tour for 2011 plans to visit 25 universities and colleges in every province across Canada. We will perform for students, faculty, staff and the community at large.

1 in 5 Canadians will personally deal with a mental illness in their lifetime. 100% of us will be collaterally affected by it. Students are a significant part of those statistics.

SMH Days on Campus is a Ground-Breaking Initiative Designed to Facilitate an Open, Inclusive and Lively National Discussion about Mental Illness on Campus.

This October, SMH visits 14 universities and colleges across Canada, starting in Halifax with Dalhousie University, then on to McGill in Montreal, U of T in Toronto, and back to BC where we will visit UBC, SFU, VCC, Douglas College, UBC Okanagan, Thompson Rivers University, UNBC, UVIC, Camosun College, Vancouver Island University and North Island College

VANCITY MEMBERS CAN VOTE ONCE A DAY FOR OUR PROJECT UNTIL OCTOBER 31 AT http://www.refresheverything.ca/smhdaysoncampuscomedytour
