Operation: Sound Off! Finishes 156th in Pepsi Refresh Campaign

The Pepsi Refresh contest for August has now come to an end. Operation: Sound Off! (OSO) finished 156th out of 1231 possible grant recipients. They will now re-submit their application for October's voting period.

"I won't lie, it would've been nice to receive the grant," admitted co-founder, Scotty Huff, "but we are tremendously thankful for the opportunity and mostly for all the wonderful supporters who voted for us every day. We never had a day that we didn't move up the chart. That means people were voting every day."

"We knew the Pepsi grant was a long shot, " adds co-founder, Robert Reynolds. "OSO will continue on regardless. The challenge now is to find the funding we need to provide the opportunities these men and women have earned."
