Nominate an Inspirational Person of the Week
STN | #SpanningtheNeed launched “Inspirational Person of the Week” (POTW) to motivate our community to live a quality life. We feel that these recipients will “Inspire the Uninspired” in our community by way of volunteer work, business, or random acts of kindness in the workplace, at home, on the job and the athletic field, or in our neighboring communities.
With the POTW, we hope to help create more awareness surrounding the kind acts from others that may go unrecognized. As well, we hope it teaches important social and emotional lessons while spotlighting those extraordinary individuals. We will feature individuals and/or groups who are willing to go out of their way to help others, as well as student-athletes who display distinction, dedication, and perseverance in the classroom. Those featured must excel in their community and show that they have gone above and beyond the standard to give back to the community.
