Hi [FRIEND'S NAME], I'm supporting an idea in the Aviva Community Fund, a competition that could result in positive change in communities across Canada. If the idea I'm supporting receives enough votes, it will have a chance at sharing in $500,000 of funding. I would really appreciate your help in pushing this idea to the finals. Please vote for it at http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf5264 Thanks in advance,
