The MickaCoo Report (Pepsi & beyond)
by Elizabeth Young 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Dear MickaCoo Supporters, Please accept my deep and heartfelt appreciation for your support of MickaCoo's efforts in the June Pepsi Refresh grant competition. Wherever your support fell on the spectrum- from tolerating my daily reminders to vote in a very wonky contest to click-voting and texting every day to the epic and all-in effort that many of you made, I appreciate that you chose to give what you did more than I can express. We were not able to win, ranking 31st out of 160+ projects, but I am extremely proud of and moved by your efforts made on behalf of MickaCoo. And, along with all that, this month, we also successfully placed 40 pigeons and doves, that would have been otherwise euthanized, into wonderful forever homes<http://www.rescuereport.org/2011/06/some-of-40-birds-adopted-from-mickacoo.…> . [image: SDC10368.jpg] I've taken on more direct-care cases, including Melody<http://www.rescuereport.org/2011/06/melody.html>, Junior & Sweets <http://www.rescuereport.org/2011/06/mercy-or-mistake.html> and Lucky & Biscuit <http://www.rescuereport.org/2011/05/being-lucky.html>, than I can well sustain and that impacts my ability to organize and lead MickaCoo's broader efforts so I'll be working to restore some balance in my role. MickaCoo is having growing pains and I need to better share the responsibilities amongst our volunteers. Without the $25K Pepsi grant, I'll need to find another way to create some sustainability for MickaCoo and will be pursuing a fiscal sponsor through whom I can both fundraise for and earn a salary. I'm considering both SEE<http://www.saveourplanet.org/> and Tides<http://www.tides.org/i-want-to/turn-my-vision-ideas-into-a-nonprofit-projec…> and need help to fulfill the possibility. If you've got experience or ideas to share, your help would be very welcome. Finally, in July, MickaCoo's inspiration and biggest supporter, Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue <http://www.refresheverything.com/mickaboo> will be competing in the Pepsi Refresh Project for a sensible and winnable $5K grant. So don't quit voting - just vote for the incredible and wonderful Mickaboo instead starting in July!

A long history of doing the impossible

24 Jun '11

Dear MickaCoo Supporters, While it may seem improbable that we could climb from our current Pepsi Refresh ranking of #32 to the winning spot of 15 in less than a week, I want to remind you that together, we already have a long history of achieving the impossible. Every day we are saving the lives of birds that are said to be unrescue-able and finding them amazing, responsible forever homes. Currently there is a handful of volunteers who are going *all out to really generate votes for MickaCoo. PLEASE join this effort and once again, help MickaCoo to do the impossible.* -PLEASE vote here http://www.refresheverything.c om/mickacoopigeonanddoverescue AND text 106711 to 73774. -PLEASE share this link on your Facebook page and *ask your friends to vote too.* -PLEASE collect and use any Pepsi "power votes" (from specially marked Pepsi products) that you can. -PLEASE vote for these projects and leave a comment saying that you're from MickaCoo and asking them to vote too. http://www.refresheverything.com/desireministries http://www.refresheverything.com/fultonhumanesociety-animalshelter-dogpark http://www.refresheverything.com/haven-no-kill-shelter http://www.refresheverything.com/barn-for-the-zoo-ct-lab-rescue-inc Thank you!
