Every day, people from all walks of life are compared to the Energizer Bunny®, from celebrities to athletes to everyday people. Once a year Energizer allows Americans to collectively identify that one individual who is so unstoppable and so civic-minded that he or she deserves entry into Energizer Keep Going® Hall of Fame. And the time to find that person is NOW!
National Baseball Hall of Famer, Cal Ripken, Jr., and Energizer are again asking Americans to nominate worthy candidates for this special honor. That person could be your sister, your best friend, or even yourself.
The Energizer Keep Going Hall of Fame was started in 2006 as a way to honor everyday people for the energy and perseverance they show in their daily lives, no matter what challenges they might face. Today, there are four members in the Energizer Keep Going Hall of Fame, and now through March 31, the search is on for the 2009 inductee. The winner will earn a $10,000 cash prize and a $5,000 donation to his or her favorite charity.
Energizer is looking for candidates with a great story about how they have positively impacted others through strong leadership and perseverance. “Through their stories, we hope to inspire others to find the Keep Going® spirit in their own lives,” said Betsy Laakko, Director of Marketing for Energizer.

The Energizer Keep Going® Hall of Fame call for nominations began February 25, 2009, and runs through March 31, 2009. People are invited to visit the Energizer Keep Going Hall of Fame website, www.energizer.com/halloffame, to enter with their own personal stories of perseverance or to nominate someone they know who is like the Energizer Bunny®.
The nominees will be narrowed to a field of 100 semifinalists who will be honored in their hometowns. Then the judges will select 10 finalists whose names and stories will be posted online. At that point, all America will be given a chance to select the winner through an online vote. The voting will take place starting June 26, 2009. Each vote will trigger a $1.00 donation from Energizer to the Cal Ripken, Sr., Foundation, up to $10,000.
I can think of a few people that I could nominate for this, and I just may do that....
Can you think of anyone who is deserving of this, if so why not go and nominate them....
