Bonnaroo "Connect for Change" Contest
This Spring, the Marion Institute headed down to the 9th Annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, TN to join dozens of other non-profits to table in the Planet Roo section of the festival. As always, the Marion Institute's mission was to create deep and positive change and to do this we held a contest to win $1,000 and a trip to the Connecting for Change Conference in October.
The "Connect for Change" Contest ran throughout the weekend, asking attendees to tell us how they would use $1,000 to "Connect for Change" in their communities in 1 minute or less on camera. We received over 85 entries and we have narrowed it down to 20 finalists, now it's up to you, the finalists, our supporters and our members to vote on your favorite. All of the finalists are below, take a look and then go to the bottom of this page to vote. Voting ends on September 15th, so be sure to TELL YOUR FRIENDS but remember it is only one vote per person. Good luck to everyone.
