Thursday, November 12, 2009
The Home Depot and the National Motorsports Press Association announced Thursday the three finalists for the 2009 Home Depot NMPA Humanitarian Award: NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers Greg Biffle and Tony Stewart and Michigan International Speedway’s Tim Booth.
The three will be recognized at the upcoming NASCAR NMPA Myers Brothers Awards program in Las Vegas, where the 2009 Humanitarian of the Year will be announced.
The finalists were selected by the Humanitarian Award Selection Committee comprised of representatives of the NMPA and The Home Depot. The selections were based on their community commitment and dedication, impact on the community and charitable giving of their time and talents.
“Volunteerism is important to The Home Depot, and we’ve made a commitment to recognize individuals that are doing outstanding projects for the betterment of community,” said Frank Bifulco, senior vice president and chief marketing officer. “Greg, Tim and Tony have each put forth extraordinary efforts in the name of charity, and The Home Depot is proud to be able to recognize and pay tribute to those efforts.”
Biffle was nominated for his work in raising awareness about the importance of animal welfare. Booth developed the project Spirit of America Blood and Marrow Drive after the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States. Stewart was nominated for his annual event Prelude to the Dream, which supports injured and fallen service members and their families.
The winner will receive a crystal trophy and a $100,000 cash donation to the recipient’s designated charity. Additionally, the two remaining finalists will each receive $25,000 cash donations to their respective charitable organizations.

Nov 12, 2009 at 11:30 PMNo offense to Biffle or Stewart....but I vote for Tim Booth....He is an awesome human being(as are the other 2) but he has not quite the celebrity"factor"to help him that the other 2 do....And still does incredible works of charity...
