"Mominate" a do-gooding mama to win $5,000 for her favorite charity
Moms are a busy lot. And when we're not tending to scrapes, taking kids to library story hour, and finding random tater tots on our person, some of us are doing stuff like-- oh, changing the world through charitable initiatives and smart business ideas. You know. No big whoop.

Actually, it's a huge whoop. That's why Babble is now taking "mominations" to find mothers who are working to make a difference in their communities and around the globe in all kinds of ways. Like Jennifer Ramo, who secured federal funding for before-school breakfast programs for students without enough food to eat, and Manal al-Sharif who started the Women2Drive campaign in Saudi Arabia.
Nominations will be judged by a truly superstar panel--with amazing mamas like award-winning filmmaker Rory Kennedy on board--and ten inspiring "mominees" will win $5,000 to donate to the causes and charities they care most about. 
Voting ends September 6, so get your nominations in soon. Bet you know a mom who's making a difference. Hey, it might even be you. -Lexi

"Mominate" someone to win $5,000 for her charity or cause of choice from Babble.
