Creating Jobs in America

Good morning ,
A little over a year ago I hit a major bump in the road with my career and was really burned out.  At that time Dawn and I decided to go into business for ourselves and thus here we are now.  What you may not know is that we were just a week away from never starting this business because we were bogged down with the SBA.  To complicate matters, we were living with our in-laws waiting to hear what was going to happen with our financing.  In short, what was going to be three months turned into 9.
This is where the link I am attaching comes into play.  During a lunch meeting with a good friend, he mentioned to me about ACE Capital.  ACE gets grants from companies such as Starbucks, Banana Republic, the Blank Foundation and others.  They then take that money and help small business like all of ours.  We were provided our funding through a grant from the Create Jobs for America Campaign started by Starbucks.  Recently, Banana Republic joined the Create Jobs for America Campaign to help make the fund bigger.  To our surprise, they chose us as one of their success stories for their national campaign.
This is where you come in.  We are trying to help bring a great deal of awareness to this campaign.  Banana Republic is doing a huge sale to generate a large sum of cash for the fund and getting this message out is very important.  Most importantly, these companies are stepping up to help small businesses throughout America have access to capital that they cannot find at the banks.  There are thousands of small business that could possibly need these guys when they want to expand or need to make a capital repair-who knows.
Dawn and I would greatly appreciate it if you would be kind enough to post this link on all of your social media outlets and ask people to check it out.  Each of your has a huge number of followers and combined we could reach over 200,000 people....(that is a big number)!  Also feel free to let us know if there is anything we can do for you in return or if anyone you know needs to get information on this program.
Thank you in advance for your help and have a wonderful day.

All the best,Terry and Dawn
