Help Me Establish a Hostel in Columbus, OH by Voting For This Pepsi Grant

For some time now, it has been my dream of mine to Establish a hostel in Columbus, Ohio. I have a business plan and I have discovered that Columbus is one of the largest cities in the US without a hostel. Additionally, it is the home of The Ohio State University, which is consistently among the top two largest universities in the country.

Despite all of this, It has proven difficult to secure funding since most banks and investors consider this a high risk endeavor, since it will be the first hostel in town. I have applied for a $50,000 grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project, but the public votes on the ideas and the top ten applicants (of about 220) will receive funding.

I NEED YOUR HELP!

To vote for this idea follow this link:

You will be asked to sign up for the project, but it is a painless process. You may vote for this idea up to once a day until February 28th.

Show the world that we think hostels are important for enriching the neighborhoods they reside in and the people they serve.

Thank You,
Mat
