Starting at 1pmET, Anderson Cooper will announce one of the Top 10 2009 CNN Heroes every hour until 11pmET when CNN will air a special entitled, “Change the World, You Vote, CNN Heroes.” The announcements will also appear on HLN and CNNI.
Each of the top 10 honorees — who were selected from over 9,000 submissions — will receive $25,000 and a ticket to the “CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute” gala in Hollywood, CA, which will air at 9pmET on Thanksgiving (Nov. 26). At that event, the Hero of the Year will be named and awarded another $100,000.
The list is being revealed here.
