We are excited you've decided to join with these companies in improving their global citizenship footprint.<br /><br />A quick update on the process going forward: due to numerous requests, we have decided to extend the registration deadline for the Global Citizenship Challenge by 48 hours to February 17, 2006, 7:00 pm Arizona Time (9:00 pm EST, 6:00 pm PST). Teams will receive their Challenge statements by 9:00 pm, February 17, Arizona Time (11:00 pm EST, 8:00 pm PST).
