Besides being a philanthropic effort, Arieff said the online social engagement platform was helping Pepsi build brand recognition and customer loyalty.

to continue Pepsi refresh concept The Pepsi Refresh concept is fairly simple.
Each month, individuals and organizations tie for a spot on the company's website.
The feed, delivered by a representative from Helping Hands Animal Food Pantry, came courtesy of the Pepsi Refresh Project, an online contest which funds ideas submitted by organizations and individuals across the country. Pepsi supplied money to purchase the food after voters across the nation picked the local animal food bank to receive a $5,000 grant in October.
The animal food pantry is a good example of the kinds of ideas Pepsi hopes to nurture, Pepsi spokeswoman Allison Arieff said in an e-mail response to questions about the project.
Pepsi is also hoping to foster hope in troubled times and provide money to grow ideas into actions, she added.
The program is designed to support individuals and organizations across six categories -- health, arts and culture, food and shelter, the planet, neighborhood and education, she noted.

In the meantime, small organizations such as Helping Hands Animal Food Pantry will likely continue to get creative when it comes to raising revenue.
In an interview this fall, Cooke County Judge John Roane said he knew all about the animal problem, but admitted the already-financially-challenged country couldn't do much about it.

Fey wins humor award, thanks Palin for material
CELEBRITIES
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON — Does Tina Fey look just a bit like Sarah Palin? You betcha. Are both women sassy brunettes who love droppin' their consonants just for laughs? Oh, fer sure. But on Tuesday night, before a large crowd at the Kennedy Center in Washington, "Saturday Night Live" cast member Seth Meyers pointed out one major difference between Fey and the would-be vice president she has spoofed many times on TV: "Tina won something."
Tina won something.
That "something" was the Mark Twain Prize for Humor, an honor that that's been bestowed upon such comedy greats as Richard Pryor, Billy Crystal and Bill Cosby. And Fey, who attended the ceremony with her husband and parents, paid tribute to the former governor of Alaska in her acceptance speech. "I would be a liar and an idiot if I didn't thank Sarah Palin
Hosted by a dozen of Fey's famous friends, the luxurious made-for-TV ceremony, which will air on PBS stations nationwide on Sunday, doubled as a benefit for the Kennedy Center. Chairman David Rubenstein kicked off the night by announcing that Fey's event had raised $1.3 million, the largest total in the prize's history. Fred Armenis of "SNL" couldn't resist joking about the big bucks she makes as a noted funnywoman. He estimated that she'd raked in $60 million for her movie "Baby Mama" alone. "Mark Twain didn't do that for Paramount," he scoffed.
for helping get me here tonight," said the Emmy-winning star of "30 Rock" and "SNL." My partial resemblance and her crazy voice are the two luckiest things that have ever happened to me."
At 40 years old, Fey is the youngest recipient in the prize's 13-year history.
Darling, it's like peanut butter and chocolate, who would've thought cowboy boots and sundresses would make the perfect combination.
