Mark of Distinction Program
Hey everyone! Hope you are all having a fantastic day!
Valeria, from Marina Maher Communications, was kind enough to let me know about a philanthropic program organized by Markham Vineyards. Thanks, Valeria!
Here is some information about the Mark of Distinction program:
Markham Vineyards, the Napa Valley winery known for its community involvement, recently announced its call for applicants to the third-annual Mark of Distinction program. This program was started in 2008 to motivate individuals to make a positive impact in their community. It rewards two winners with $25,000 grants each to help them make a lasting change – or “Mark of Distinction” in their communities.
To enter, go to the “Nominations” page on www.MarkhamMarkofDistinction.com anytime before July 19th and submit a proposal of no more than 300 words that describes the initiative and inspiration along with a brief budget that details how the project funds will be used. On August 10th, 10 finalists will be chosen and featured on the Mark of Distinction website, where the public can vote for their favorite two projects, who will each receive $25,000 grants to turn their passion into a reality.
For more inspiration, check out the stories of winners from previous years by visiting www.MarkhamMarkofDistinction.com and clicking “Making Their Mark.”
Sounds like such an awesome program – hope you all check it out!
Good luck, everyone!
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your day!
