Nominate Someone Special for Sports Illustrated Kids SportsParent of the Year Contest

For the first time ever, Sports Illustrated Kids is naming a “SportsParent of the Year.”   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.      

GRAND PRIZE:

The SportsParent of the Year grand prize winner will receive a $1,000 gift card to use for their child’s sports. The winner may also be featured in an upcoming issue of Sports Illustrated Kids magazine and/or on SIKids.com.

To nominate a SportsParent that YOU know, visit www.sikids.com/sportsparent. Deadline for entries is September 24, 2012.
