Westminster Patch: 'Carroll Counts' Extends Voting Period until Sept. 30


Carroll County residents now have until September 30 to vote in a friendly donation competition meant to raise funds for local nonprofits.


The Community Foundation of Carroll County has extended the voting period for the Carroll Counts campaign to September 30, 2012.

Carroll Counts is a capital campaign with a twist. All proceeds will benefit the Community Foundation of Carroll County and the inaugural projects. Carroll County residents are invited to support the community projects with votes and dollars until September 30, 2012.

Which project(s) do you want to support?

Response to the Carroll County campaign has been strong, with over 1000 votes and dollars going to the seven non-profit projects in the friendly donation competition, according to a news release.

Currently, Winters Mill High School leads the vote with their project, an effort to raise money to purchase scoreboards for baseball, softball and field hockey. Not far behind is Carroll County Food Sunday's Outreach to the Hungry, whose fundraising effort will support bringing nutritionally balanced weekly supply of food to needy families and individuals.
