The O.C. Tanner Inspiration Award - Winter Olympics 2010
At O.C. Tanner we believe strongly that every Olympian deserves to go home with gold. That’s why we have been the proud supplier of the U.S. Olympic Team rings since 2000. We were also honored to create the gold, silver and bronze medals for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.
This year we’re extending appreciation to those individuals who have inspired the Olympic athletes on their journey. New in 2010, The O.C. Tanner Inspiration Award will honor those frequently left behind the scenes. Those who ignited the spark. Encouraged the dream. Awakened the quest for Olympic glory. It may be an athlete’s parent, neighbor, teacher. A teammate, a brother, a friend.
It will honor those who will never receive an Olympic medal of their own. But instead made it possible for someone else.
Athletes have already begun submitting their nominations for the person that most inspired and motivated them. Read their stories here and cast your ballot for the story that moves you most. Check for new stories each day until Friday, February 12.
Then … Become a fan here.
Vote for your favorite story. Invite others to vote.
Three honorees will receive The Inspiration Award, a 14K gold commemorative ring bearing the laurel crown from the ancient Olympic games, designed by O.C. Tanner.
When we see people who push the limits to succeed, to excel, to go above and beyond we feel compelled to appreciate that performance; no matter if it happens in a cubicle or on a ski slope, on the assembly line or on a balance beam.
Thanks for your enthusiastic support of this exciting new campaign.
Don’t forget to contact the Baltimore Appreciateology Team for all your recognition needs. Email us at Baltimore@octanner.com or call 410-661-5668.
Enjoy the Games. Appreciate the dream.
