Washington, D.C. – WTOP today announced the return of the online contest, “Click for a Cause” which gives Washington, D.C. area non-profit organizations the chance to vie for one of three cash prizes.
The first-place winner will be awarded $12,000 while the second and third-place winners will receive $10,000 and $8,000 respectively. Winners are based on the highest number of votes (likes) received during the contest.

The format makes it accessible to any charity that qualifies, and they have it in their power to drive voting so it’s really a fun, grassroots type of effort.”
