Subject: Please help Range win $250,000 grant

Good morning!

I am writing to ask for your help.   Chase and Living Social are offering twelve $250,000 grant to small business owners.  Many of you know my passion for ranchers, beef and the art of butchery.  If Range can collect 250 votes, we will qualify to be considered for the grant.  Right now we have 16 votes in the hopper and the deadline to collect the votes is June 30th.

If we are selected to receive the grant,  we will use the funding to explore ways to partner with the City of Chicago to open a meat cutting school.  

To support Range's dream of opening my meat cutting school please go to:

Best and wish me luck,
