SPARKS, Md., Apr 18, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
McCormick & Company, Incorporated (NYSE: MKC) announced that Byron Pitts, prominent correspondent for CBS News and "60 Minutes" will deliver the keynote address at the 71st Annual McCormick Unsung Heroes Award Banquet to be held on Monday, May 2 at the Marriott Hunt Valley Inn.
A total of 107 high school senior boys and girls, two of whom will be honored as the 2011 Charles Perry McCormick Scholarship winners, have been chosen to represent 67 Baltimore area public, private, parochial and independent schools. The scholarship, valued at $36,000 over four academic years, will be presented to one male and one female athlete selected as the top Unsung Heroes.
(See the end of this release for the list of nominees.)
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 program is reflective of McCormick's core belief in The Power of People - a phrase that has been part of the Company culture for many years.
The banquet will salute deserving male football players and female basketball players. More than 700 city and county officials, school administrators, coaches and family are expected to attend.
Byron Pitts will bring an inspiring message to the audience. Despite being deemed functionally illiterate until the age of 12 and having a chronic stutter until the age of 20, Baltimore-born Pitts is an author as well as an award-winning TV journalist. His success and achievements have come as the result of hard work and dedication, as Pitts has overcome the obstacles and challenges that life has thrown his way. He has documented his inspirational life journey in his book "Step Out on Nothing."
