People Magazine Names UP Founder & CEO Tim King a "Hero of the Year"
King designates $10,000 prize to Urban Prep.

The November 8 issue of People Magazine (on stands now) announces the selection of Tim King as a Hero of the Year. The annual award is bestowed upon individuals who "have found a way to fix the world around them--one life at a time." Winners were selected by the editors of the magazine and based, in part, on voting by People's 43 million readers. "Heroes" receive $10,000 from OnStar which King has designated to Urban Prep. "It's the students, teachers and staff of Urban Prep who are the real heroes," says King. "I'm just proud to be a part of their lives."
