The St. Louis Rams and St. Louis Rams Foundation will award $20,000 in grants to recognize outstanding volunteer service through their Georgia Frontiere Community Quarterback Awards Program.   Since the program’s inception in 2000, the Rams have donated over $150,000 to community groups through this initiative.

The Georgia Frontiere Community Quarterback Award honors individuals who exemplify leadership, dedication, and a commitment to improving the community in which they live.   Non-profit organizations are encouraged to nominate individuals, age 13 or over, who serve local charities in a volunteer capacity only and receive no monetary compensation for their efforts.  Individuals are welcome to nominate themselves.

A committee comprised of local community leaders will review the nominations and select 10 finalists.  From the finalist field, the 2008 Rams Community Quarterback winner will be named and one runner-up selected. The winner’s charity will receive $7,500 and the charity of the runner-up will receive $2,500.  Each of the eight finalists will be awarded a $1,250 Rams Foundation grant for their charitable organizations.  All winners will be recognized at a special luncheon at Russell Training Center and will be guests of the Rams on the field at the St. Louis Rams versus Dallas Cowboys game, October 19 at the Edward Jones Dome.

The program is part of the national NFL Community Quarterback Award program that honors volunteers in all 32 NFL markets.
