Call for National Award Nominees

*****************************************
Send National Award Nominations to:
Email: execdirector@pflagcanada.ca
Website: www.pflagcanada.ca/champions
Please Circulate Widely
*****************************************
We all know someone, who in their own way is inspiring people to grow in their understanding and acceptance of sexual and gender diversity. Whether that person’s contribution is made in a lecture hall, or in how they live, they are truly a Champion and they are changing society for all of us, one person at a time!
Think for a moment. Who are the Champions in your community? Who has helped you become more accepting of other people...or perhaps, of yourself?
We are asking you to help us celebrate our unsung heroes and raise money for support and education programs offered through PFLAG Canada.
Who are the Champions in your life? PFLAG Canada wants to know and we are offering you two ways to get involved!
NATIONAL AWARDS PROGRAM
Deadline February 24, 2008
Participate for free. (One way you can get involved)
If you wish to nominate a person or organization for national honours, simply send us a letter explaining why your nominee deserves to win. If they are selected, we will ask for your assistance in informing them.
Who makes a good national candidate? Anyone who demonstrates courage, passion, dedication and/or the ability to overcome adversity. This description is intended to include a wide range of candidates because in the effort to overcome prejudice, anyone can be a Champion. Nominees of all ages are welcome.
Entries must be submitted no later than Sunday, February 24, 2008. There is no cost to nominate a National Champion and more than one person may be chosen, so please enter as many candidates as you wish.
Send a letter nominating a National Champion: execdirector@pflagcanada.ca.

HONOUR A PERSONAL CHAMPION
(A second way to get involved)
Who has helped you become more understanding of sexual and gender diversity – to be more accepting of other people…or perhaps, of yourself?
Donate $10 to PFLAG Canada and post your Champion’s first name, along with a supportive message on our Wall of Champions. A card will arrive by mail so you can send special thanks to your Champion. All proceeds will be used to support programs offered through PFLAG Canada and its Chapter and Contact network. All donations are tax-deductible in Canada. Charitable Registration# 864483276RR0001.
Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, partners, spouses, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, teachers, employers, co-workers, friends, allies, colleagues: Prejudice that disadvantages just one person, holds back an entire community. Courage that moves a heart to change, can lift an entire nation.
