Hudson and Be Someone Need Help to Keep Helping Children Make the Right Move
Former State Trooper is teaching chidren to think one move at a time. Be Someone has reached over 16,000 hard to reach kids and hopes to reach more.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) August 22, 2005 -- This
month's issue of Black Enterprise Magazine honored Orrin Hudson as an Everyday
Hero for efforts to improve the lives of disadvantaged youth through Be Someone.
Hudson has invested all of his life savings for a dream he believes in and needs
sponsors to continue his transformational program.
He is a former 6-year
Alabama state trooper, Air Force veteran, and now the founder of youth
organization called Be Someone, Inc. (http://www.besomeone.org ). Hudson came to realize sending
people to jail were tantamount to sending them to a school for crime. Instead,
he sought to create a program for kids. Be Someone, Inc.'s mission is to build
character, hope, and inspiration among disadvantaged youth. Hudson's program
teaches kids chess and also collects handguns to help disarm the
streets.
Hudson, who is the recipient of numerous award such as the 2005
National Self-esteem Award, 2005 NAACP Award for community service, 2005 NBC
Good People Award, 2005 Black Enterprise Everyday Hero Award, 2004 TBS
Superstation Pathfinders awards for Education, the 2005 Atlanta Braves Award,
and the 2004 MLK award, 2004 Turknett Leadership Character Award, Orrin has
dedicated his life to helping others. Visit his website for a photo library and
to see a short video produced by TBS http://www.besomeone.org/video/PathfinderAward_med.htm as well
as CNN and other stations.
Be Someone is currently under consideration
for inclusion in a new network series focused on philanthropy. But to make it to
the fall, Hudson needs support. Visit www.besomeone.org for more information about how you can
help.
Hudson, a motivational speaker and two time chess champion, has
blazed a trail throughout America teaching and motivating youth. He has been a
source of inspiration using chess as a stimulus for children to learn the very
adult concepts of responsibility, discipline, and self-reliance. He teaches them
to believe in their own ideas and to learn from their decisions. To date, Be
Someone has helped over 16,000 at risk and hard to reach youth.
Orrin
work has been featured in USA Today, CNN Headline News and CNN American
Stories.
