Your Power is in Your Vote
No, PANDORA is not running for political office. But we still need your vote. PANDORA's supporters have loyally voted in online voting contests to raise funds for the operation of our organization. Advocacy, awareness, providing patients information and representing patients at government meetings and conferences takes money. We are seeing these efforts make a difference now, including the recent development of Florida International University joining with PANDORA as the academic partner for the NEI Center(TM). Online voting contests are a great way to make a difference without costing you a dime. It is perfectly-designed for our physically-limited but passionate community. Here is where we have been and can continue to be victorious. The Jewish Federations of North America Gives Another Opportunity for PANDORA PANDORA founder Marly Silverman has been nominated as a Jewish Community Heroes. This gives us an opportunity to win $25,000 for PANDORA's operating expenses. You will have to register with your email address and zip code. Please cast your vote here. Vote every day.
