CNN Heroes Hosts Local Rally For Jordan Thomas
CNN Heroes will host a celebratory rally complete with performances by the McCallie Upper Schools marching band and cheerleaders and more than 500 hundred attendees, including 400 students from McCallie Upper School and 100 students from the St Nicholas school, waving their pom poms and pennants to show support for Chattanooga resident Jordan Thomas.
The rally is set for Friday, Nov. 6 at 11:30 pm at The Hunter Museum of Art. Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield and Hamilton Mayor Claude Ramsey will also be on-hand to deliver a proclamation.
Thomas was chosen from over 9,000 submissions from 100 countries as one of the Top 10 CNN HEROES, which spotlights everyday citizens accomplishing extraordinary deeds, for his work with the Jordan Thomas Foundation, which has raised more than $400,000 to provide prosthetics for children in need. Thomas will be awarded $25,000 – and is eligible for the $100,000 award that will be bestowed upon the CNN HERO OF THE YEAR later this month at a star-studded gala in Hollywood.
The public will select the CNN HERO OF THE YEAR via voting at the CNN Heroes site at www.CNN.com/Heroes more »
