After two exciting months, the Arc of Madison County is withdrawing from Pepsi Refresh. The contest has been a fun and rewarding experience, but we think it's time to move on to other projects. Words can not express how grateful we are to everyone who has helped us, not just by voting but also by spreading the word. The Arc, and the people we serve, are very fortunate to be in a community with so much support for people with disabilities.

The greatest benefit from the contest is the awareness it raised about the Arc and our services. We've never received the kind of publicity we did during the contest - no doubt many of you have heard us on the radio. This kind of attention will return our efforts many times over and help us expand our services. So, don't forget about us - our contest entry is over, but a new project could be right around the corner.

Thank you again to all of our wonderful friends and partners. We couldn't do it without you.
