This past week, ISLA was awarded over $10,000 in funding from Chase Bank, in the 2012 Chase Grant Giveaway. The contest was opened for over 2 weeks as voters from their Facebook accounts or from their Chase accounts could vote for any of the 2500 charities in the race. ISLA finished with a 161st place finish by receiving over 1400 votes.. for a nation wide contest with voting happening all over the world, this was a huge accomplishment!

We want to thank all of our voters for supporting us and all the volunteers that hustled to get in the votes during the contest. These funds are going directly to saving lives and will be making a huge impact in the coming year! We will keep everyone posted.

Here is a list of others we wanted to thank that helped us win!
