Search to Find America’s Favorite Military Mom
Feb 28 2008
Teleflora and NBC are looking for inspirational military mothers for a primetime television special, “America’s Favorite Mom.” In addition to military moms, the show is looking for mothers in the following categories: working mom, single mom, the non-mom, and the COE (chairman of everything) mom.
As part of this search, Teleflora partnered with USAA, a financial services company serving servicemembers and their families, to raise awareness for the competition and help identify dynamic military moms within its large network of servicemembers.
“Now more than ever, it is important to honor military moms because of their courage and willingness to respond to their individual ‘call to duty’ everyday of their lives,” says Shawn Weidmann, president of Teleflora.
Now through April 25, children and adults can nominate their favorite military mom by uploading videos, favorite photos of mom, and essay testimonials at www.americasfavoritemom.com/usaa.
The top 15 nominees from the five categories will appear on NBC’s Today show, and viewers will have the chance to vote for their favorite mom at the end of each show. The winning mom from each category will be featured on “Teleflora presents America’s Favorite Mom,” a grand finale, one-hour primetime NBC television special airing Mother’s Day, May 11, 2008. The show will include guest appearances from a number of celebrity moms as well as the stories of famous mothers who have made history.
At the end of the program, a celebrity host will crown one mom “America’s Favorite Mom” and name a rose in her honor. She will also receive thousands of dollars in cash and prizes.
As a special gift to the military mom finalist, USAA will reward her with a $2,500 cruise gift certificate from Explore Cruise Travel and a free year-long financial strategies plan with USAA Certified Financial Planner practitioner.
