Help SPTS win $20,000 for a community center

/public/image/spts.jpgThe Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicide is a finalist in the "Tom's of Maine" 50 States for Good contest and, with your help, can win a $20,000 grant to help support the renovation of a community center in a small New Jersey town where 10 youth have died by suicide over the last 28 months. This project, in which teens partner with adult community members as volunteers, is really important because it will help the youth who have experienced the tragic deaths of so many of their friends focus their energies in a positive way to create a transformed community gathering space inspired by their resilience.

To cast your vote, please follow the following instructions:
1. Go to the finalists page for the 50 States for Good project at the Tom's of Maine Website.
2. Find The Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicide from Freehold, NJ
3. Click VOTE! You can vote once a day!
