Want to help get lights on the tennis courts at MIHS?

Vote in the Pepsi Refresh Contest, where the Joyce Hedlund Memorial Tennis Courts Improvement Project is competing for a $250,000 grant for the project.

The Pepsi Refresh Project allows anyone with an idea they thing will have a positive impact to submit their idea, and then people vote for their favorites.

Daily votes are allowed at the Fund's page or by texting 104081 to Pepsi (73774).

If chosen to receive the grant the project will use the money to largely to purchase the lights and pay for the installation, but also to landscape and restore the site. A full breakdown of the planned use for the money can be found at the project's Pepsi Refresh page, listed above.

Voting ends Nov. 30 and the top two earn grants for their projects.
