I just applied to win $10,000 in funding to enact my personal fresh start plans.
While 73 percent of women say they wish they could make a fresh start, the number one reason they haven’t been able to follow through is lack of money.* Carefree is helping women turn their wish for a fresh start into a reality with the chance to receive up to $10,000 in funding through the Carefree Fresh Start Fund. To apply, women need to submit a short essay and photo at www.CarefreeFreshStart.com by July 10, 2009.
Carefree has also partnered with Ariane de Bonvoisin, change expert and book author, to introduce a new website (http://www.CarefreeFreshStart.com) that provides women with advice on how to make a change in any area of life: style, wellness, career or relationships.
Whether changing jobs, starting a new relationship, losing a few pounds or even simply getting a makeover, who hasn’t wished they could make a fresh start on something, at some point in life? The makers of CAREFREE® pantiliners are partnering with First30Days.com – experts at helping people through change – on a new program to help women turn that very common wish into a reality. Women who visit the campaign’s new Web site, CarefreeFreshStart.com , will find tips for making a fresh start and the chance to receive up to $10,000 through the CAREFREE® Fresh Start Fund.
To apply for funding, women simply need to share why they want a fresh start, plans for reaching their goal, and how the funding could help. Entries will be evaluated by a panel of judges including Ariane de Bonvoisin, the founder of First30Days.com, based on the strength of the plan, use of funding and persuasiveness. Ten finalists will receive funding to help make their fresh start a reality, and the public will then have the chance to vote online for the best fresh start plan.
The top three winners will receive $10,000, $5,000 and $3,000 respectively, as well as a personal consultation from Ariane and a three-day/two-night trip to New York City to be honored at the CAREFREE® Fresh Start celebration event in partnership with Step Up Women’s Network, the national, nonprofit membership organization dedicated to strengthening community resources for women and girls. All other finalists will receive $1,000 to help begin making their fresh start. The deadline for submissions is July 10, 2009.
“The CAREFREE® brand has always aimed to give women the confidence they need to manage life’s everyday obstacles,” says Lori Deo, Vice President of Marketing for the CAREFREE® brand. “Through the CAREFREE® Fresh Start Fund and our partnership with First30Days.com we hope to give women the resources to make a fresh start that will help them lead the life they’ve always wanted.”
“Now, more than ever, I hear from so many women going through changes in their life or wishing to make a fresh start, but needing a little extra support,” says Ariane de Bonvoisin. “The whole First30Days team and I are thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of the CAREFREE® Fresh Start program and help give women that optimism they need to succeed.”
