Mission 500 Charity Organization Seeking 2011 Humanitarian Award Nominations

  • Nov 10, 2010

Mission 500, a non-profit initiative focusing on the security industry and dedicated to serving the needs of children and communities in crisis, is seeking candidates for the 2011 Mission 500 Humanitarian Award.  The award will be presented at a special cocktail reception on April 6 during ISC West in Las Vegas.

The purpose of the Mission 500 Humanitarian Award is to honor individuals in the security industry who make important contributions to those in need. The 2010 recipient, Alan Forman exemplified this through his involvement with numerous charitable organizations, as well as serving on the advisory boards of both Gift of Life International and Mission 500, and as the New York Metro Chapter President for the American Technion Society.

Any individual can be nominated and a judging panel will evaluate all nominees based on their respective contributions toward humanitarian causes.

Mission 500 is also hosting its second 5K charity run at ISC West on April 7th, 2011.  The Security 5K/Mission 500 Charity Run is the first charity-driven event at an ISC Expo, conceived to engage corporate sponsors as well as individuals within the security industry. 

Runners can register for the race on-site at the Mission 500 booth at ISC West, or online at http://www.firstgiving.com/mission500.  A nominal entry fee of $30.00 will go directly to the charity.

For more information on the Mission 500 Humanitarian Award, or on how to become a sponsor of the Security 5K / Mission 500 Race, contact George Fletcher at pr@mission500.org , or call 305-321-3193.
