Congratulations to Raleigh Charter High School's Sustain Roots Music (SOOTS), which finished in the money in the Pepsi Refresh Projeject. Voting closed Monday in an online poll in which the top-10 vote-getters received $5,000 grants -- and SOOTS came in at No. 8. The money will help fund the benefit shows that the group puts on to raise money for Hillsborough-based Music Maker Relief Foundation, which assists older and impoverished blues musicians throughout the South.
