Tom Sullivan, an actor, athlete, singer and composer who refused to be limited by his blindness, will serve as guest speaker at the 55th annual McCormick Unsung Heroes Awards Banquet Friday at Marriott's Hunt Valley Inn.
A total of 102 candidates, two of whom will be honored as the 1995 Unsung Heroes, have been chosen to represent 67 Baltimore City and county public, private, parochial and independent schools.
McCormick scholarships, valued at $3,500 per year for each of four academic years, will be presented to one male athlete and one female athlete selected as Unsung Heroes.
Originally established in 1940 by the late Charles P. McCormick, the program recognizes unselfish team play and honors those who contribute substantially to the success of their teams without receiving acclaim. The banquet will salute deserving football players and female basketball players.
More than 700 city and county officials, school administrators, coaches and friends are expected to attend.
