This September, we’re asking you to recognize the people in your own lives who have exemplified their spirit – people like principals who have taken principled stands for their students and teachers, business owners who have chosen to do what is right for their communities rather than what is easy, and friends and neighbors who have stood up for others when no one else would.įill out the form below to tell us about them, and we might feature their story on our Facebook or Twitter.

The Profile in Courage Award recognizes one act of political courage, but there are many more that go unrecognized in American communities each year.
