Girls Incorporated, a youth development organization committed to inspiring all girls to be strong, smart and bold is seeking nominations for the “2008 A Mother’s Celebration” and would like to invite you to submit your nomination of that special person in your life. We would like to recognize exemplary mothers who have shown extraordinary commitment to their families and communities.

If you are interested in nominating someone for this honor, please complete the nomination packet referenced above (including a 500 words or less essay explaining why the nominated person qualifies for this award). Your essay will be a big part of the selection process-so tell us everything! Anyone you consider a mother can be nominated. She does not have to be your biological mother.

Girls Incorporated will recognize mothers in the following categories:
a) Traditional
b) Non-traditional
c) Posthumous

The finalists will be selected by a panel of judges and will receive notification of their selection prior to the event honoring them. Winners will be chosen based on evidence of the following criteria:
(1) Resourcefulness
(2) Positive role model for children, family, and community
(3) Significant impact on the lives of others
(4) Civic Involvement

Again, we are very pleased to honor and congratulate these mothers who often go unrecognized for all their sacrifices and selfless commitment, which positively impact the lives of children, family, and those who know them. The winners from each category will receive a luxury prize package.

“A Mother’s Celebration” will be held on Thursday, May 8, 2008, 6:00 p.m., at the Von Braun Civic Center, North Hall.

We look forward to receiving your nomination.
