    Vote for Rocco -- $10,000 for IMOM - 3/2 to 3/8

    Rocco's parents are trying to raise money for IMOM (In Memory of Magic). For those of you who don't know about IMOM, they are a volunteer organization that raises funds to help with emergency medical expenses for pets.

    If Rocco wins, they will donate the $10,000 to IMOM!!!
    Please pass the word and help get the word out. Please vote every day.

    Here's the scoop from Jacki (founder of IMOM).


    Hello Everyone -

    Basic Information:

    Rocco is entered into the Bissell MVP contest. The Grand Prize is $10,000 and a Rocco win will give that money to www.imom.org . More info on IMOM below.

    Here he is: http://bissell.promo.eprize.com/mvpc...llery?id=95364 and you can share on Facebook (and other apps) right from there! Please keep reading!

    What we need to do!

    Voting starts at 12 am Wednesday 3/2/11 and ends 11:59pm Tuesday 3/8/11 (7 days).

    We can vote 1x a day each day - so we can each vote 7 times. Multiple votes received from any person or email address in excess of the stated number will be void. Please be sure to follow the rules - they had to take votes away from some of the pets in the first rounds already. I hate it, but you have to register to vote. But for $10,000 for IMOM I'll do it! Please forward this to at least 7 people and ask them to do the same!

    I have studied the results from last year and figure we need to get about 300 votes a day. Each of the 7 days! 2,1000 votes - a lot! But we can do this!

    We really need your help - what YOU can do:

    1. Vote every day, each day. Put it on your to do list, Microsoft calendar, phone, alarm, write it on your hand, whatever it takes to remember to do it daily. I am more than happy to send out an am reminder. (I am a nag)

    2. Send this on to your email lists and ask them to vote each day, and ask them to send it on to their email lists - but they do need to vote for Rocco (even though there are many cute pets) to keep IMOM in the running.

    3. Post his link on Facebook and ask people to vote. Let me know if you need that image in a jpeg. They even have a button so you can Share on Facebook.

    4. Tweet about it.

    5. Post this on any pet forums you go to.

    6. Do not split the IMOM chances in the final by putting up another pet another week.

    More information:

    This is a huge prize! Rocco wants to help IMOM because they helped Annalise, plus Kyah, Fresno and so many more Pets In Need. Actually over 1,800 pets in need have been helped in eleven years with donations from individuals. Rocco and his sister Rosa helped win money for their rescue from IMOM and now he wants to give back.

    Each week for 12 weeks, MANY pets compete for votes against the competitors entered for their week. The weekly winner with the most votes goes on to the finals along with the next four highest vote winners from that week.

    The 60 pets with the top votes from each voting period go on to the judging phase.

    Judging is based on condition of pet's coat (FLUFFY!), expression of pet (he can smize with Tyra) and overall appearance (Muppetdorable). But that's getting way ahead of ourselves and judging is always subjective. Will judges think my Rocco is as cute as we do? A cat won last year I believe so I am betting that helps the dogs!

    Please let me know if you have any questions about any of this. And - yes, I should not have cropped the photo. If Rocco and IMOM win you will see him on Bissell vacuum cleaner boxes too!

    Thank you for the help!

    Jean



    Good luck Rocco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Bump

    To all IMOM supporters:

    A dear friend of IMOM has entered her rescue boy, Rocco, in Bissell's MVP photo contest. The grand prize is $10,000 to a 501(c)(3) and our friend has chosen IMOM to be the recipient.

    Please vote for Rocco EVERY DAY and pass this email along to everyone you know. Also post on FaceBook and Twitter and any other social network you know of.

    Imagine how many hundreds of lives IMOM can save with $10,000! All you have to do to help hundreds of animals is to vote for Rocco -- every day.

    Rocco needs a minimum of 300 votes per day to win get to the finals.

    For the animals,

    Thanks everyone for getting the word out.
    If you figure out how to see how many votes he has, please let me know. I haven't managed to figure that part out.

    Here's a baby photo of Rocco and some more information about this pupper from his mom (Jean):

    Hope that works - that was baby Rocco and his little sister Rosa - they helped their rescue win in the IMOM calendar photo contest. So he's gotten from IMOM and hopes to have the chance to give back.

    Not sure of the results -- or when they'll be announced. I've posted a message on IMOM.org asking if they've heard yet.

    From IMOM today:

    WOOOOOOHOOOOO!!!

    Our boy made it to the semi-finals. Thanks for all your votes. We will let you know when it's time to vote in the semi-finals.


    I can't view this link for some reason, but evidently Rocco came in 3rd.
