This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Clarissa. Congrats!
As a mom and a nurse, I spend most of the day as a caregiver, educator, role model, and so much more. And while I’m often asked how I accomplish everything, there are people all over the country effecting change and inspiring others in incredible ways. A friend of mine flew out to Haiti as soon as he was able, following their recent earthquake. Nurses on my unit have traveled overseas, unpaid, to help out with medical efforts in under-served countries.
This year marks the 5th anniversary of Energizer’s Keep Going Hall of Fame, initiated to honor “ordinary people with unstoppable energy.” We often see celebrities recognized for their efforts to support a cause. But what about your child’s teacher or your next door neighbor? People all across the country are making a difference in their communities…and they deserve to be recognized.
Through April 23, you can nominate a colleague, friend, or family member who is an inspiration to you. The inductee will receive $10,000 in cash prize and $5,000 to donate to his/her charity of choice. Simply visit Energizer’s Keep Going Hall of Fame.
Win It! One of you will win a 24-pack of Energizer Max batteries to celebrate this program. Simply visit the site. Then come back here to comment with someone you feel would make a good nominee for the Keep Going Hall of Fame. Comments will close on April 23, 2010 at 11:59 PM PST.

I would love to nominate my Mom. She is turning 75 this year and still works. She always worked while we were growing up and our house was always clean, a big meal was on the table and home cooked treats. I am 20 years younger and I have difficulty keeping up with her when we go for a walk. She really is the Energizer Bunny.
