Why is this being nominated for such an award a distinguished honor? The CLASSY Awards is the largest philanthropic awards ceremony in the entire country. Their focus is to bring recognition to the charitable achievements of nonprofit organizations, socially conscientious businesses, and individuals worldwide. CLASSY says that just last year "2,000 organizations and individuals were nominated... and their collective efforts impacted more than 200,000,000 people in more than 71 countries worldwide." Thus, this award is not limited to San Diego organizations; it spans the globe. In 2010, AOL was quoted as saying: "Hollywood has Oscar, Broadway has Tony, and now Philanthropy has the CLASSYs."
This is truly an amazing honor for Advocates for Injured Athletes. This is another avenue that we all can use to get spread the A4IA mission across the country. Thank you for all of your support and please continue to spread the word!
