This is a real no-brainer for FIRST.

From our RD:
Each year USA Weekend (one of those small magazines you see in the local Sunday paper) --- has a contest to nominate your favorite Youth Coach.

Now in its 17th year, the contest honors those dedicated individuals who help young athletes achieve excellence on and off the field. Coaches who work with children through high school are eligible. Seems like there are a number of excellent FIRST Coach/Mentors who fit the bill for this one!

Three winners are recognized at a Hall of Fame dinner and receive $1,000 for their charity. Instructions are listed at the end of the article and the deadline is FEB 2, 2009. You can also enter online at usaweekend.com

Because USA Weekend may not know of FIRST as a sport.....please describe FIRST as 'a sport for the mind' with your submission.

Thanks for posting this... this is a great opportunity for all those teams out there. There are so many mentors that deserve a thank-you, and I think honoring them with a nomination is a great way to do it. (But since we're thinking about it, you should go thank all the mentors on your team at your meetings today... I think sometimes we forget just how much they do for us.)
Plus... this is good practice for the Woodie Flowers Award, which you should also all submit for.
