Token of Appreciation

Philadelphia, PA - March 1, 2011 - Keep Philadelphia Beautiful, the Philadelphia's leading organization assisting communities in improving the physical and visual aspects of their neighborhood environments, wants to recognize individuals throughout Philadelphia who are working to make the city a more beautiful place to live, work and play by hosting the Token Appreciation Awards.

Now until March 21, Keep Philadelphia is asking the public to nominate those in their community who are making a difference. From planting community gardens and educating kids about recycling, to helping seniors take out the trash and sweeping neighbor's porch fronts every Saturday morning, the real heroes are not people of great renown; rather, they live near us. By performing small acts, they win our admiration. With that knowledge, Keep Philadelphia Beautiful wants to award these individuals who are bettering their communities. The organization asks that the public send a nomination of 50 words or less to Phoebe (see email address below), detailing how and where these civic-minded Philadelphians are making a difference, along with the nominee's name and phone number. The winners will be recognized at a special ceremony taking place on Friday, April 1, 2011, with special guest Miss America Teresa Scanlan in attendance.
