The Syracuse University Martin Luther King Jr. 2010 Celebration committee is seeking nominations for the Unsung Heroes Awards, which will be presented during the evening celebration in the Carrier Dome on Jan. 24, 2010. The theme for this year’s celebration is “Continuing the Journey: Where do we go from here?” The awards are presented annually to people who, in the spirit of Dr. King’s “beloved community,” have made a positive difference in the lives of others but who are not widely recognized for their efforts.
Nominations may be made in any of the following categories:
The deadline for submitting nominations is Friday, Nov. 20, 2009.
