The Anthem Community Angels program recognizes community "angels,” people in the local community who have led, created or otherwise been influential in activities that strengthen the community.
Examples include building a playground, raising money to help an individual or family in a difficult situation, involvement in youth athletics or other activities and regularly volunteering with a local non-profit.
“We know there are many local angels who work endlessly to better the community and believe it is important to recognize and support them in their efforts,” said Daniel Corcoran, president and general manager of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Maine. “We’re accepting nominations now and encourage the general public to nominate deserving volunteers from communities across the state of Maine.”
“The Pirates are excited for the opportunity to partner with Anthem to honor local ‘angels’ for the third year,” said Brian Petrovek, Pirates CEO. “We encourage the public to nominate deserving individuals on our website and we look forward to hosting the honorees at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee this season.”
Up to eight honorees will be chosen before the conclusion of the 2013-14 season. Each honoree will be recognized at a home game in an on-ice ceremony and will receive a framed Pirates jersey. In addition, Anthem will make a $500 donation in the honoree’s name to a health-related non-profit of his or her choice.
