After my previous post highlighting efforts to make heroes out of people serving the greater good (at least on par with the recognition we give athletes), I was thrilled to see these full-page ads in my Entertainment Weekly magazine:
Major League Baseball® and PEOPLE® magazine invite you to nominate individuals who have gone above and beyond to serve their community.
Maybe they mentored disadvantaged children, cared for abandoned pets or started a community garden. You tell us! You can even nominate yourself.
A total of 30 everyday All-Stars (one representing each MLB team) will be honored at the 2010 MLB® All-Star Game® in Anaheim on July 13 and one will be featured in PEOPLE magazine.
To participate, visit the website and enter information about your nominee (16 years or older) and tell us what makes him/her an everyday All-Star.
NOMINATION DEADLINE: MAY 14 I VOTE FOR THE FINALISTS: MAY 30-JUNE 20
Take a few minutes to fill out the simple nomination form and help that amazing individual you know get some well-deserved recognition.
