Antioch High School is in the running to receive a $250,000 grant from PepsiCo, Inc. as part of Pepsi’s Refresh Project, a program that invites the public to choose which foundations will receive more than $1 million in grants.

Antioch was ranked 42 out of more than 250 projects at press time, but only the top two causes will receive a grant. The city is seeking a half-million dollar grant to improve its track, which isn’t up to California Interscholastic Federation regulations. Every month, Pepsi selects worthy community projects, puts each cause on its Web site and asks the public to vote for its favorites. Voting is open for the entire month of June. The June winners will be announced July 1.

Voting is free, and those registered at www.refresheverything.com may vote once a day for the cause of their choice. To vote for Antioch High School, visit www.refresheverything.com/antiochhighschooltrack.
