All Stars Helping Kids - Teammates

It would be awesome if you had the chance to help spread the word about the USATF nominees for Jefferson Award for Public Service (Lauryn Williams, Sara/Ryan Hall, Lauren Fleshman). They are all doing a good job of getting the word out to their twitter feeds, etc, but the folks in the WTA have sent out stuff about the tennis nominees, the Raiders have publicized their guy, the Mavericks have publicized Dirk N, etc. Some sport specific publicity would be fantastic.

It is a prestigious award for public service, and (full disclosure) my husband runs the foundation that is helping get pro athletes from all sports nominated in a serious way for the first time. I, however, can pick sides! Check out the list - it is a good thing to have our tracksters alongside these names in the other big sports.

Just like the "last man in" vote for the All Star Game, it is all about the fan energy to pump up those vote totals!
