FairPoint Communications, Inc has kicked off â Heroes in Our Community’as a way to recognize the great work of Vermontâ s nonprofits.
â Vermontâ s nonprofits really make the Green Mountain State a stronger and better place to live and work,’said Mike Smith, Vermont state president for FairPoint. â They connect communities and help Vermonters; FairPoint is honored to recognize their good deeds.â
Heroes in Our Community was launched on WVMTâ s Charlie + Ernie + Lisa in the Morning! show and Smith will be updating listeners weekly on vote tallies. All Vermont-based 501(c)3 organizations with an operating budget of less than $1 million are eligible to receive votes.
On May 14, the field will be narrowed to the top six vote-getting charities. The final winner will be announced on June 25 on WVMT and will receive a $2,000 grant from FairPoint.
Votes can be submitted on FairPointâ sFacebook page.
