StayClassy, a leader in social fundraising for nonprofits, announced Team Rubicon as one of the 3rd Annual CLASSY Awards Top 25 Finalists for two categories: Charity of the Year and Best New Charity. StayClassy and their sponsors are offering more than $150,000 to CLASSY Award Winners.

Voting takes just one minute, but your vote will go a long way in helping us fulfill our mission to aid disaster victims while engaging veterans. From now until August 26, Team Rubicon supporters can visit www.classyawards.org and vote for TR to be named a CLASSY award winner for both Charity of the Year and Best New Charity.

The CLASSY Awards are the largest philanthropic awards ceremony in the country, recognizing the most outstanding philanthropic achievements by charities, businesses and individuals nationwide. More than 2,000 nominations were submitted to StayClassy for consideration. After a vetting process, StayClassy posted each nomination as an article on the CLASSY Awards Achievements Blog (www.stayclassy.org/stories) to put a national spotlight on amazing philanthropic stories. TR Nation rallied to generate over 200 Facebook ‘Likes’ on our nomination to qualify us for the judging round.  Out of thousands of nominations, the judges narrowed the list down to the Top 25 most inspiring and impactful in each category.

The Top 10 Finalists will be determined by public vote and announced on August 30th. The winners will be recognized live on-stage at the Oscars-style CLASSY Awards ceremony in San Diego on September 17th.  Team Rubicon co-founders, Jake Wood and William McNulty are featured speakers at the event.
