What is the People’s Choice Voting Round?

The People’s Choice Voting Round gives the public the opportunity to select the National Unsung Hero from our five Unsung Heroes. The Unsung Hero with the most verified votes between noon CT on May 1 and noon CT on May 15 will be named National Unsung Hero and receive a $50,000 grant award for their organization.
