How about a favorite local nonprofit organization? Well, it&#8217;s time to rock the vote.</p>
<p>Luckily for you, it&#8217;s as simple as a <a href="http://cyberink.upickem.net/engine/Votes.aspx?PageType=VOTING&amp;contestid=44890" target="_blank">few clicks</a>.</p>
<p>Voting for the <strong></strong>Erie County Gaming Revenue Authority&#8217;s (ECGRA) UChoose Grants for Erie County nonprofit organizations ends Wednesday at noon.</p>
<p>The competition is divided into three funding levels: $5,000, $10,000 and $15,000. One winner will be chosen at each level.</p>
<p>The ECRRA&#8217;s UChoose Grants is modeled after the <a href="http://www.refresheverything.com/" target="_blank">Pepsi Refresh Project</a>, which awarded $250,000 to the Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation.</p>
<p>All participating nonprofits in the UChoose Grants competition are based in Erie County.</p>
<p>As the ECGRA <a href="http://www.erieuchoose.com/sponsors.html#aboutus" target="_blank">says on its website</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>UChoose Grants is designed to educate, enlighten, and embolden community members while providing ECGRA with a significantly larger, more diverse, wide-ranging pool of funding prospects.</p></blockquote>
<p>Winning organizations will receive their grants at a media event on Thursday.</p>
<p>So <a href="http://cyberink.upickem.net/engine/Votes.aspx?PageType=VOTING&amp;contestid=44890" target="_blank">cast your vote</a> before it&#8217;s too late.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8211;</p>
