Wendy’s High School Heisman Blog Tour & Giveaway

One of the things that I like about Wendy’s is their commitment to the community. I was recently asked by Mom Central to help promote the Wendy’s High School  Heisman program.

If you have a child that is a senior, or know of one, this is a great program to look into. Here is more 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 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."

As a parent and teacher, I love that this program encourages a well rounded student. Not only are they looking for teens that are good at sports, but they need to do well academically and help within the community. Frequently asked questions are also addressed on the Wendy’s High School Heisman website. This section helps to walk students and parents through the process of applying for these awards.

Thanks to Wendy’s, I have a $20.00 gift card to give away to one randomly selected winner. Now you can have lunch or dinner out at Wendy’s for your family. Enjoy a burger, chili, fries, a frosty or something else that you select.
