100 Cars for Good: Vote for Common Ground Relief

Common Ground Relief (CGR), a non-profit organization based in the Lower Ninth Ward, has been selected as one of 500 finalists in Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good program, in which Toyota is giving 100 cars to 100 non-profits over the course of 100 days.

Members of the public are invited to vote for the nonprofit they think can do the most good with a new vehicle. The nonprofit with the most votes at the end of each day will win. VOTING FOR CGR WILL TAKE PLACE THURSDAY, MAY 31, 2012 FROM 9:00 A.M. TO 10:59 P.M. CST AT www.100carsforgood.com.
