Skyline gets second chance to win grant

Because Skyline “Clothes 4 Kids” climbed into the top 100 projects in June’s contest, this Oklahoma City ministry earned another opportunity this month. Vote online daily throughout JULY – and tell everyone you know to vote, too – because Skyline Urban Ministry’s clothing project for school children has another chance to secure a $50,000 national grant from Pepsi. Go to www.refresheverything.com/clothesforkids and vote daily through July 31.
