Do you know a mom that is working hard to “create healthier environments for children and families”?  If so, Healthy Child Healthy World would like to honor her!  Take Part explains:

Our wonderful friends at Healthy Child Healthy World announced their first ever search for a “Mom on a Mission.” In October 2009, the Healthy Child benefit gala will honor one inspiring woman who is dedicated to creating “healthier and happier environments for children and families.” This amazing woman will be flown to LA for a luxurious and eco-friendly 2 night stay and be presented with the first ever Healthy Child Healthy World “Mom on a Mission” award.

My favorite part of the prize is the winning mom will be outfitted by Luxury eco-designer Linda Loudermilk!

Here are the rules of the contest:

Our judging criteria: We are seeking a heart-lifting, true story that both moves and inspires us by sharing a mother’s work to create healthier environments for children and families.

Who is a candidate: Any exceptional mother (currently living in the United States) who seeks to make a difference for the better, generously gives back to others, or overcame adversity with courage.

How to enter: Only ONE nomination per person is allowed. Please enter by sending your “heart-lifting, true story” to award@healthychild.org. Submissions should be no more than 750 words in length.

Deadline for Nominations: August 15, 2009, 11:59pm PST.
