Mo' Money, Mo' Buses!
STLF and 3 other Nonprofits are Competing for a Share of $250,000 from Best Buy's @15 Change Exchange!
Author: Jenna Untiedt, STLF
It has been an exciting time in the office over the past week as STLF was informed who their competitors are for Best Buy’s @15 Change Exchange. Competing with three other service based organizations is going to be a challenge, but a challenge that STLF is up for! There has been a high level of excitement this week as everyone in the office has been 
brainstorming ideas on how to engage all of our youth to help us win a large percentage of $250,000. White boards were mounted, and the brains went to work. There seemed tobe no idea too big or too small for us to work with! On multiple occasions the idea of getting Joe Mauer to star in a video for us was brought up. While it may not be possible to get Joe Mauer, our ideas and ambitions have been growing and it’s simply exciting to see everyone’s goals and ambitions shine through for this competition. It will be exciting to see what we come up with for promotional materials over the next few weeks. Be prepared to see some great short movie clips informing students how they can help STLF through Best Buy’s @15 Change Exchange!
The Best Buy @15 Change Exchange is an online competition between four nonprofit organizations that are all competing for a percentage of $250,000. The way to help STLF earn a percentage of the $250,000 is to earn ‘points’ by creating an account and playing games on the @15 website. Youth between the ages of 13-18 are eligible to earn ‘points’ and later donate them in January to the nonprofit of their choice. It is a great way for youth to have a voice in determining which organization gets the largest portion of money! It takes little time or effort by youth, but lets them experience what it feels like to give and learn a little bit about philanthropy along the way!
So, as the @15 Change Exchange gets underway, we are asking you for your help!
PLAY.
Go to stlf.net’s Change Exchange page. Follow directions and create your account on at15.com. Play fun games online when you’re bored.

By signing up for an account, a student automatically receives 1,500 points, which is equivalent to one full scholarship for a high school student on the Pay It Forward Tour!
