Remember to vote for one of the three finalist Founders Fund Projects by March 17th, 2023
Dear PGC Members,
Annually, the PGC membership has an opportunity to vote on which of the three GCA Founders Fund finalists they think should win the top award of $30,000. To learn about each proposed project, the GCA has supplied the following three project proposals, summaries and photos. Please go on the GCA site to:
Proposals: https://www.gcamerica.org/_uploads/filemanager/contentpageresource/2023%20FF%20finalists.pdf

Slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/11larzoN6MMANBs_PplO39EOm7J3EUNkSxc_L35B5jQY/edit
In early March, PGC members were sent a separate email requesting them to cast their vote for one of the proposed projects. All 199 GCA clubs participate and are required to submit their votes in to GCA Headquarters by March 17. We look forward to announcing the winner here once the votes are cast and counted.
