Givingroom.com is Searching The Nation for an Unrecognized Champion to Be Rewarded: Do You Know an Overlooked Hero?
To honour selfless, generous acts performed by those in Canadian communities, GivingRoom will be showcasing and rewarding an individual who best personifies the meaning of a 'hero'.
Toronto (PRWEB) April 16, 2008 -- Givingroom.com announced today the beginning of a 60-day campaign to find an hero in communities across Canada.
The Hero Award is to reward those with a generous spirit - an individual who contributes to the strength of his or her community by donating time to a cause, raising funds for charity, or improving the quality of life for someone less fortunate.
The award came to fruition when GivingRoom's creators realized that there was often little recognition for those who give so selflessly to our community. The award is meant to spotlight one individual and inspire others to take action in their community.
From March 17th to May 17th, the public can visit givingroom.com and submit nominations for people they feel are making a difference in their community. Submissions should include a brief explanation of what the "Hero" has done, whether it's helping those less fortunate, impacting the lives of others, or an example of dedication to a specific cause.
The winner will receive $5,000 donated to a charity of his or her choice as well as an all expenses paid vacation for two, because even heroes need a break.
GivingRoom is where ideas take action. Nominate your Hero at www.givingroom.com and take part in change.
