Team Dawg Shout Out and MVPs

Team Dawg Shout Out: The Neighborhood Mailman or Mailwoman

"The mail carrier.....a community everyday hero.....not just for delivering that important piece of mail. Although the job title you hold can make you a hero in itself, the man, woman or even child that holds that position...the person within...is what defines us as heroes. Thank you to all the postal workers for all you do!"

Team Dawg MVP: Sophie, the 5 year-old Golden Retriever helps autism program at Floral Park High

"When you think of an example of an everyday hero your first thoughts usually go to a family or community member. As students say many times in our "Respect" Workshops.....your pet can be a hero as well. The unconditional love of a pet or service animal can make all the difference in a persons' life!"

Team Dawg MVP: Helping others less fortunate is the work of an everyday hero! Great job to Allie and her Teammates!!

"I am Allie Milberg and I have been dancing since I was seven years old. Each dance season, myself and my teammates receive anywhere from 5-10 costumes that we wear about six times and then “retire” them for the season. As the years went by, my collection of “retired” costumes grew larger and larger in my closet. One day, I thought, couldn’t other children benefit from these beautiful costumes that were in great condition. As a result, 18 months ago, I along with my dance studio, JAM dance and fitness, started to build an organization that would collect costumes, sort them and distribute them to underprivileged kids in dance programs for their recitals, talent shows and dance programs in Long Island and NYC. We have collected and distributed over 2000 costumes and shoes to six organizations who are still asking for additional costumes this year. The organizations who receive the costumes mention how happy and excited the children are when they get to put on costumes and shoes and DANCE. It is the best feeling to help others feel as special as I do when I step on the stage and DANCE!"

Team Dawg MVP: Roslyn violinist Jourdan Urbach

When Team Dawg shares the message of respect with students in elementary school we discuss what makes a person an everyday hero and how each and every student can and should be an everyday hero regardless of age. Jourdan Urbach is that everyday hero we speak about. Creating a charity to help others in need at the very young age of 7 years old. He continues to be a true "role model" throughout his life.

Jourdan Urbach will be honored for his achievement on Tuesday with one of the nation’s highest public service awards — the Jefferson Awards. The 20-year-old Roslyn resident founded Concerts for a Cure when he was only 7 years old. Since then, he has raised $5.1 million to fight children’s neurological diseases and fund research.

Thank you Jourdan, you are this week's Team Dawg MVP.
