Lolo Jones, Olympian & World Champion Hurdler, to Address Student Athletes

HUNT VALLEY, Md., May 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- McCormick & Company, Incorporated (NYSE: MKC), a global leader in flavor, today announced that Lori Sue "Lolo" Jones will deliver the keynote address at its 79th annual McCormick Unsung Heroes Awards Banquet to be held on Monday, May 13, 2019.

Ms. Jones is a decorated American hurdler who specializes in the 60-meter and 100-meter hurdles. She won three NCAA titles and garnered 11 All-American honors while at Louisiana State University. Ms. Jones won indoor national titles in 2007, 2008, and 2009 in the 60-meter hurdles, with gold medals at the World Indoor Championship in 2008 and 2010. She is also a three-time Olympian who has represented the United States on the 2008 and 2012 Track & Field teams and in 2014 on the Bobsledding team.  

The McCormick Unsung Heroes Banquet honors deserving student athletes across all sports.  A total of 111 high school seniors from 68 Baltimore area public, private, parochial and independent schools have been nominated.  Two of the honorees—one male and one female—will receive the 2019 Charles Perry McCormick Scholarship, valued at $40,000 over four academic years.  Two $7,500 scholarships and two $5,000 scholarships will be awarded to students for their efforts on and off the field, for a total of $105,000 in scholarships given to deserving students at the banquet.

The Unsung Heroes program recognizes unselfish student athletes and honors those who substantially contribute to the success of their school without receiving acclaim.  Originally established in 1940 by former McCormick & Company Chairman Charles P. McCormick Sr., the program is reflective of McCormick & Company's core belief in The Power of People. Since 1969, the Unsung Heroes program has awarded over $1.7 million in scholarships.

More than 700 city and county officials, school administrators, coaches, honorees and guests are expected to attend this year's event.
