Want to help your family’s favorite park get a $100,000 grant?
Coca-Cola is calling people out to their favorite park to vote this summer in the third-annual "America Is Your Park" campaign.
We asked 50 moms to become "ambassadors" for their favorite hometown park and rally their community to vote for their favorite park to become "America's Favorite Park." CafeMom treated the moms to a $25 American Express gift card to enjoy a fun day at the park with their family. While they were there, we asked them to vote for their favorite park at http://cokeurl.com/parkscafemom. Each time they checked in at their park, via Facebook, they earned 100 extra votes. We also asked the moms to share their efforts with they family, friends and community. We've asked them to share their thoughts and experience here with you.
Check out what our moms are saying:
"I have been voting for Lake Eola every day, it would be amazing if they could win this grant! I have shared on Facebook the joys of Lake Eola and urged my friends to join in!" - MomToove
"Our favorite park is Cunningham Falls State Park. We go to this park multiple times a year and it's a huge part of our life. I have already voted for my park multiple times!" - la_bella_vita
"I AM VOTING FOR ROCHE PARK EVERYDAY!! I feel it should be the choice for the America's Favorite Park." - lifeisajoy
Last year, park supporters cast more than 13 million votes for their favorite parks. The winner? Oak Park in the small town of Minot, ND! The secret to their success was community action! Everyone in Minot got involved and campaigned for Oak Park. They held events in the park, mobilized through online communities, got hometown celebrities involved and voted non-stop.
Want to help your family's favorite park get a $100,000 grant? Tell us which park you would vote for and why, then go vote at http://cokeurl.com/parkscafemom! Voting ends July 15th so hurry.

That is so great that they are working on getting it set up so all children can enjoy it regardless of their needs. I think this is so important and I wish more places were doing this!
Quoting aidensmomma508:My name is Wendy, I am married to my hubby Ricky and we have a 5 year old son Aiden. We live in Somerset, Mass. I'm voting for Buffington Park, in Somerset, because they are raising funds to get some Adaptive equipment for kids with Special needs can play along side typical kids, fun for all kids with different abilities. My son has Autism so that's a big issue for me and I'm really glad to be a part of this program! Buffington Park is 5 minutes from my house it would be so convenient to have a place to go like this! Buffington Park should be Coca-Cola's "America's Favorite Park" so that kids with Special needs have a place to play too with all kids! I voted on it and plan too until it's over also I shared it on my Facebook page and the parks Facebook page! So get on the site and vote for your favorite park. While your their Vote for Buffington Park too :) Thank you!
This is a plan of what they want to make there :)
I feel i made a difference today.
