Daily News | Go online and vote so Tyrique Glasgow of South Philly can be named the next CNN Hero of the Year
. All you have to do is find Glasgow’s name, sign in using your Facebook or email, and cast your vote. You get 10 votes a day. CNN will even send you a daily reminder to log back in and do it again. The last day to vote is Dec. 6. The winner will be announced on Dec. 11 and will receive $100,000 to continue their good work. Should Glasgow be named CNN Hero of the Year, he plans to contribute $25,000 of his winnings to some other local organization that needs it.
Glasgow isn’t the type to launch a huge media campaign or spend his entire day on social media making posts hyping people up and reminding them to go to CNN’s website to vote for him. He’s not that kind of guy. He’s about the people and making sure residents have enough to eat. He’s about handing out hot meals twice a week. He’s about organizing after-school activities for children in his neighborhood.
In fact, he didn’t even set out to become a CNN Hero. A neighborhood resident nominated him. Then, one of the cable network’s senior producers contacted him a few times over several years before he even got around to filling out the paperwork to get this far. Now that he has made it to the finals, the least we can do is support him — the way he does his South Philadelphia neighborhood every single day.
