eVero’s 2023 DSP Recognition Week Contest
Nominate a Direct Support Professional by clicking the link below to enter them into a raffle for a $100 Amazon gift card!
Each September, our community comes together to celebrate the Direct Support Professionals (DSP) who make such an important impact in the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The work of a DSP is complex and highly specialized, as they support every aspect of an individual’s daily life on a unique, person-by-person basis. These unsung heroes act as a lifeline for people with disabilities under normal circumstances.
In celebration of this year’s DSP Recognition Week, eVero will select 10 DSPs at random to win $100 Amazon gift cards. Please click below to access the nomination form and let us know a little bit about your favorite DSP!
Nominations for 2023 are closed
- 2 winners will be randomly selected each day from September 11-15, 2023
- Winners’ names will be announced each day on this blog post and our social media accounts to further highlight the outstanding work of these individuals.
