SPARKS, Md., April 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- McCormick &
Company, Incorporated (NYSE: MKC), a global leader in flavor, today
announced that Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues will deliver the keynote
address at the 78th Annual McCormick Unsung Heroes
Awards Banquet to be held on Monday, May 7,
2018.
Mr. Bogues' distinguished basketball career got its start at
Dunbar High School in Baltimore,
where his team won 59 consecutive games and is still highly
regarded as one of the greatest high school teams of all
time. After a successful college career at Wake Forest (where his number was retired), Mr.
Bogues went on to play 14 seasons in the NBA, leading both the
Charlotte Hornets and Toronto Raptors to their first-ever playoff
appearances. Mr. Bogues currently serves as an Ambassador for
the Charlotte Hornets where he makes appearances at games and
community events, and he was recently featured with his Dunbar
teammates in an ESPN 30 for 30 special titled "Baltimore Boys."
The McCormick Unsung Heroes Banquet honors deserving student
athletes across all sports. A total of 113 high school
seniors from 69 Baltimore area
public, private, parochial and independent schools have been
nominated. Two of the honorees—one male and one female—will
receive the 2018 Charles Perry McCormick Scholarship, valued at
$40,000 over four academic
years. Two $7,500 scholarships
and two $5,000 scholarships will be
awarded to students for their efforts on and off the field, for a
total of $105,000 in scholarships
given to deserving students at the banquet.
The Unsung Heroes program recognizes unselfish student athletes
and honors those who substantially contribute to the success of
their school without receiving acclaim. Originally
established in 1940 by former McCormick & Company Chairman
Charles P. McCormick Sr., the
program is reflective of McCormick & Company's core belief in
The Power of People.
More than 700 city and county officials, school administrators,
coaches, honorees and guests are expected to attend this year's
event.
