| Support Through Sport Contest |
 In commemoration and celebration of Demosphere's 20th Anniversary year we are pleased to announce the inaugural Support Through Sport contest to recognize contributions made by youth sports organizations to their communities. During the month of April, organizations are invited to submit a story to www.demosphere.com of one such program they have organized within the past five years. Demosphere will select the top five stories for an online vote. The winning entry will receive a $500 donation in the organization's name to the charity of their choice. Contest entries will be accepted until April 30, 2010 at 5:00pm ET. Official rules are available at www.demosphere.com. We look forward to hearing all the motivational and inspirational stories throughout the month! |
