Two of our Champion in Life Grant Award winners, Van Brooks of Safe Alternative Foundation for Education and Shantell Roberts from Touching Young Lives are both semi-finalists for the 2019 Homecoming Hero Awards! We’d like to encourage our own community to vote for them.

In short, five winners will be selected to win a $3,000 cash prize, a chance to speak on stage in October, and the opportunity to participate in presenting sponsor T. Rowe Price Foundation’s capacity building program. You can vote now and every day until Aug 15 at www.baltimoresun.com/heroes2019.

Congratulations Van and Shantell for making the list of semi-finalists. You both are making a huge difference in our community. Get out there and vote!
