Nominations of Child Advocates Invited for World of Children Awards
Deadline: April 25, 2005

The World of Children Awards are designed to honor ordinary people doing extraordinary work on behalf of children. Each year, World of Children, Inc. (<a href="http://worldofchildren.org/">http://worldofchildren.org/</a>) places a global call for nominations seeking to identify selfless individuals whose unwavering commitment to children makes the world a better place for children to live and succeed. By honoring these individuals, World of Children hopes to raise public awareness of these advocates, their work, and their organizations.

Three honorees are selected for each of the two categories of lifetime achievement awards: the Kellogg’s Child Development Award and the Cardinal Health Children’s Care Award. In each category, one honoree will be selected to
receive a $100,000 stipend, while two other honorees will each receive $10,000. Additionally, there will be one honoree selected to receive the $15,000 stipend for the Founder’s Award.

The Kellogg’s Child Development Award, a $100,000 award sponsored by the Kellogg’s Corporate Citizenship Fund, the founding sponsor and charitable arm of the Kellogg Company, recognizes those who have made a significant lifetime contribution to children’s futures by greatly improving their opportunities to learn and to grow.

The Cardinal Health Children’s Care Award, a $100,000 award sponsored by the Cardinal Health Foundation, the charitable arm of healthcare products and services provider Cardinal Health, recognizes an individual who has made a significant lifetime contribution to the health and well-being of children.

The Founder’s Award, a $15,000 stipend, recognizes a young person under the age of twenty-one who is making extraordinary contributions to the lives of other
children.

World of Children invites nominations of individuals who are working as advocates for children. An organization itself cannot be nominated.
