Hi, my name is Dr. ______________________. I am a pediatrician from the KU Children’s Center. I am here today to give out an award for PRIDE. PRIDE stands for "Pediatricians Recognizing Individuals Demonstrating Excellence." The PRIDE award is given to a student who works hard in school and does things for other people – that is called Community Service. We looked all over Kansas for a winner, and found that person right here at <name of school>.

There are some other people here who work with me at the KU Medical Center…and look! Here comes the JayDoc!

[JayDoc to perform.]

The JayDoc is here to help recognize a young [man/lady] who has [describe reason for winning].

Congratulations [name of child]!

[Announce prizes.]

Please accept these as a small token of our appreciation for your efforts.

[Bring up parents.]

<Name of principal>, I would like to give you this certificate to recognize your school as a PRIDE school. We hope that you will proudly put it up here at [name of school].

[Thank sponsors that are in attendance.]

Kids, we here at the KU Children’s Center want you to know that everyone here can win PRIDE. Work hard at school and help other people – get involved in community service. We want to come back to [name of school].

[Allow time for pictures and for media to speak with the winner.]

This is a wonderful PR opportunity for your institution.
