Help Maui Wowi Help Kids Are Heroes

Maui Wowi is deeply involved in an organization called Kids Are Heroes, a web site that inspires children to change the world by showcasing those that already have. Please see www.kidsareheroes.com.

Recently our contact at Kids Are Heroes saw a note from Richard Branson asking people to pitch ideas via a 2 minute video to his Pitch TV concept. The idea is that a few select pitches would be chosen to be on his web site for people to vote on. Winners will be played on Virgin Atlantic Airlines as part of their in flight entertainment. Putting these videos in front of business people may provide matches so that projects can be funded. To make a long story shorter Kids Are Heroes sent in their pitch and made his web site. The voting began and closes April 27th. This could provide the organization with the rare opportunity of taking Kids Are Heroes to a global platform, which is our vision. To learn more about this and to see the pitch we made see the blog post at http://www.justgabe.com/2009/04/06/submitted-to-pitch-tv/

To vote please use this link: http://entrepreneur.virgin.com/vote/ Scroll down past the links to the videos, fill in your info and select Kids Are Heroes from the drop down list, check the boxes and click the Submit button. PLEASE pass this information on to others so they can vote. This has the potential of being life changing for children and families all over the world. We humbly ask that you forward to as many people as you feel is appropriate to help us reach our goal. This costs nothing, other than a minute or so to vote. Thanks so much for your support.
