In honor of all those who have inspired, motivated or encouraged you in one way or another in your lifetime, Modell's Sporting Goods invites you to help elect our 2008 Hometown Hero. The candidates were selected based upon their contributions to the communities in which they serve. They all exemplify what it means to be a hero - a person of distinguished courage or ability who is admired for his or her deeds and qualities.

Please register to vote for the story that moves you most, and thank that person for being such an inspiration to all those in the community he/she serves.

And just for voting, you'll be entered into a sweepstakes to win a trip for 2 to the Holiday Inn SunSpree® Resort Aruba!
