Posting a supportive comment on your LifeChanger’s profile is a great way to tell them how much they mean to you. The comments are taken into consideration by the selection committee when determining winners. Additionally, we give the $5,000 LifeChanger Spirit Award to the nominee whose community demonstrates the most support for their nomination.
You can also help us honor your LifeChanger on social media. Start by following LifeChanger of the Year on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Then, post your LifeChanger’s profile to your social media pages and share a story about why they’re a LifeChanger in your school.
TIP: Be sure to use the hashtag #LCOY in your post so we can see you showing your spirit!
