Take part in the 2010 NH Walks to Cure Diabetes on Saturday, September 25, 2010 at NHTI-Concord. Why Walk? As many as 3 million Americans have type 1 diabetes, a disease most often diagnosed in childhood that strikes suddenly, lasts a lifetime, and carries the constant threat of deadly complications, including heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, and amputation. JDRF's mission is constant: to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Thanks to dramatic research progress, a cure is now within our reach. Nationally, the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes raises over $100 million each year for research. Join us and BE PART OF THE CURE! www.jdrf.org/walk-

Young Professionals Awards
Business NH Magazine and the Stay Work, Play initiative are launching four new Young Professionals Awards competitions.
In order to remain competitive, NH needs to attract and retain younger talent. There have been several initiatives launched focused on that, from the formation of young professionals groups throughout the state to the University System of NH's 55 Percent Initiative, to a governor's task force on the retention of young people that led to the establishment of the Stay, Work, Play initiative.
To further spotlight this important issue, Business NH Magazine is working with Stay, Work Play, the state's Young Professionals organizations and the NH Department to Resources and Economic Development to launch a new awards program recognizing outstanding young professionals, initiatives to keep them here and the businesses that go the extra mile to recruit and retain them.
There are six Young Professionals Awards. Companies and individuals are invited to apply online, and applying for more than one award is encouraged.
1. The Coolest Companies for Young Professionals will honor one small company, one medium-sized company and one large company, all in NH. To apply, click here.
2. The Young Professional of the Year award honors an outstanding professional 40 years old or younger. To apply, click here.
3. The Young Professionals Network Program of the Year will honor an innovative program developed by a young professional group. To apply, click here.
4. The Stay, Work, Play Leadership Award will be given to an individual, organization, initiative or program in NH that supports young professionals in NH. To apply, click here.
Applications are due by Thursday, August 12. Winners will be featured in the Young Professionals Guide in the November issue of Business NH Magazine and feted at an awards ceremony in November.
