Wendy’s High School Heisman Blog Tour & Giveaway
How many of you love Wendy’s? I know I just love those frosties they make and of course the mushroom hamburgers, the kids love the chicken sandwiches. Well Wendy’s wants to help the kids out once again and this time they are giving them a reward. Check out the following information:
With college admissions growing more and more selective, the Wendy’s High School
Heisman program presents a great opportunity to help those students who have
managed to balance so much, stand out. This award celebrates high school seniors
who excel in academics, athletics, and community involvement; in essence,
recognizing them for all of the things they already do. Colleges want to see
well-rounded students who demonstrate dedication and commitment, making this
program especially relevant and accessible.High school seniors who have
a 3.0 average or higher, participate in a school-sponsored sport and contribute
to their community can apply at http://www.wendysheisman.com/, or a
high school educator, guidance counselor, or coach can nominate them. As a
little reward, the first 41,100 applicants will receive a free Wendy’s gift card
in amounts ranging from $5 to $50. One male and one female from each high school
will win the award and continue on in competition for state and national awards.
Twelve national finalists will participate in Heisman Weekend festivities during
an all-expenses-paid trip Dec. 11-13 to New York City. ESPN2 will feature all 12
national finalists during the Wendy’s High School Heisman Awards Ceremony, which
airs Dec. 13. The Wendy’s High School Heisman website will display the names of
all applicants and individual school winners on October 22, 2009.
I think what they are doing is great and hopefully a big motivator. They are showing parents that they want to help in convincing our children to do good and showing teens that if they do good with their grades and sports they will be rewarded. The site also notices that not all teens will do sports but other school events such as committees, school paper, etc. If you have a child in high school that has a 3.0 average and is in some type of school sport/activity sign them up today. There will be one male & female winner per school, the teen will get a $10 GC, a letter from Wendy’s and a patch sent to the school to be awarded to them. Check out the awards given out from the Wendy’s Heisman site. There is a list of FAQ you may be interested in reading as well.
Now just because Wendy’s and Momcentral (who shared this news with me) are so nice they are giving one lucky “The Life of a Home Mom” reader a chance to win a $20 Gift card as well.
