A Force for Good: Because Real Heroes Don’t Wear Capes

The 2012 Winner is Heartland Small Animal Rescue, Inc.!

The greatest heroes don’t wear capes, can’t fly and aren’t from a distant planet. They are ordinary people doing extraordinary things every day. They lead, operate or volunteer at the many non-profit organizations (NPOs) in our community in an effort to make our world a better place.  And like all heroes, when they are empowered, they become a force for good.

The team at Force 5 is committed to doing good work for people who do good works.  Through our second annual A Force For Good contest, we would like to help empower one NPO based in St. Joseph Country, IN, by offering them $5,000.00 in brand development and marketing communication services—enough to help them let the community know who they are, what they do and why their work matters. 

Because there are so many great organizations in St. Joseph County, we need your help to decide which one to empower.

It’s easy:

  • Nominate your favorite NPO on this website between October 2, 9:00am, 2012 and October 19, 3:00pm, 2012.
  • Vote for your favorite NPO on this website between October 23, 9:00 am, 2012 and November 6, 4:00pm, 2012.

The 10 NPOs who receive the greatest number of votes will be considered by a selection committee comprised of community leaders and professionals.  The winning NPO will be selected based on application strength, need for service and community impact potential.  The winner will be announced on November 15, 2012 at 3:00 pm.
