Do you know someone between the ages of 6-13 years who showed an extraordinary act of kindness toward animals? We want to hear about it! Introducing.....
2009 Jr. Ken Shughart Humanitarian Award
We will soon be taking nominations for the 2009 Jr. Ken Shughart Humanitarian Award, so start now by brainstorming creative ways to describe the most altruistic kid you know. Rules: Nominate a child between the ages of 6 and 13 who performed an extraordinary act of kindness for the benefit of animals in 2008. Briefly describe (under 200 words) of how this child has shown extraordinary kindness to animals and why he/she should be selected as the 2009 Jr. Ken Shughart Humanitarian Award winner. Mail your nomination to : HSWM Jr. Ken Shughart Humanitarian Award, PO Box 1059, Missoula, MT 59806. All eligible nominations recieved by HSWM will be divided into two categories: ages 6-9 and 10-13. Each nomination will be judged on originality and the commitment to animal welfare. Winners will be acknowledged at our annual Ken Shughart Humanitarian Award and Silent Auction. Keep posted for the dates of the nomination deadline and the Auction itself.
