It’s official: Tropical Storm Nicole has waged war against the Chesapeake Climate Action Network office. As the remnants of Nicole continue to work their way up the East Coast, the D.C. area has been hit with flash flood warnings and, in some areas, tornado warnings! Although the CCAN office stands victorious in battling the high winds and heavy rain, a leaky ceiling proves it has not gone unscathed.
And then, destiny came knocking on our front door. We caught wind that a local Baltimore-based roofing company is giving away a green roof!
Dubbed the “Green Roof Giveaway,” Cole Roofing, the region’s leading provider of green roofs, will be donating a green roof valued at $30,000 to one enterprising non-profit!
Wait a minute…is CCAN eligible?
Nonprofit: Yup!
Enterprising: You betcha’!
Problem solved, right? I wish it were that easy!
To determine the recipient of the green roof, Cole has launched www.greenroofgiveaway.com, where non-profits can submit their entry by uploading a video or submitting an essay, explaining how a green roof will help them achieve their mission.
Non-profits have until November 15 to submit their entry to be considered for the donation. Afterward, they can rally their supporters to vote for their video or essay on the web site.
