The Bob Moog Foundation is trying to get a $250,000 grant from the Pepsi Refresh Everything Project, and grants are determined by popular vote.
You know what that means – The Bob Moog Foundation needs you to take 15 seconds of your time to click the “Vote” button at the Pepsi grant site.
The Foundation has set forth a grant application for $250,000 to support its MoogLab educational outreach program. MoogLab brings electronic musical instruments such as theremins and synthesizers into the schools to ignite children’s creativity through the intersection of science and music. The video, above, offers a quick introduction to what they’re trying to do.
Pepsi doesn’t need the money – but The Bob Moog Foundation does – so please give ’em 15 seconds of your time!

Pepsi Refresh Everything Project gives away $1.3 million per month to fund great ideas that refresh our communities. The MoogLab application specifies beginning curriculum development in Asheville, NC and growing the program to Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Atlanta, Minneapolis and Detroit within a years’ time. In MoogLab, children play electronic instruments and learn the basic physics that makes them work. It’s fun, engaging, enlightening and IT WORKS!
