SPORTS ILLUSTRATED KIDS is naming "SPORTSPARENT of the YEAR"

I am sure everyone of us knows an awesome SportsParent who goes above and beyond for their kids and teammates.  Well, now Sports Illustrated Kids is going to recognize SportsParents and also name "SportsParent of the Year."


Sports Illustrated Kids is naming a “SportsParent of the Year” and would like to invite everyone the opportunity to enter or nominate an inspirational SportsParent! Modeled after the famed Sportsman and SportsKid of the Year awards, the SportsParent of the Year title will honor a parent who embodies the essence of sportsmanship. After all, we wouldn’t have a Sportsman or SportsKid without the role model who initially set the example. A true SportsParent is dedicated to using sports to support family and community, not scores and trophies. The SportsParent will exemplify qualities that SI Kids aims to impart to children through a shared passion for sports, including fun, dedication, healthy living, and the value of community and team.

 

The “2012 SportsParent of the Year” Grand Prize Winner will receive a $1,000 gift card to support his/her child’s or community team’s sports needs! The winner may also be featured in an upcoming issue of Sports Illustrated Kids magazine and/or on SIKids.com. Deadline for contest entries end 9/24.  So be sure to enter today before the deadline ends!
