Fans are invited to vote in the All-Stars Among Us campaign, a presentation of People Magazine and Major League Baseball, for the 30 winners from June 8-24. One winner will be chosen as a representative of every club, and all 30 will be honored Busch Stadium in St. Louis for the July 14 All-Star Game. One club representative also will be featured in People Magazine.

Here are the finalists for the Toronto Blue Jays:

Jane Andres: The Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, resident volunteers her time helping migrant farm workers in her area and includes them in her everyday family activities.

Melanie Burton: The Belleville, Ontario, resident runs Reading Rocks, a program devoted to helping children with reading difficulties by improving their literacy. She had an early start on volunteering, sending thousands of Christmas shoeboxes to war-torn countries as a 5-year-old.

Richard Gosling: The Whitevale, Ontario, resident is the founder and president of Toronto Children's Breakfast Club, which since 1984 has established 30 community breakfast programs that serve a nutritious breakfast to more than 4,000 students a week.


Three great people focused on three worthy causes... I'm of course pulling for the local lady.

Be sure to vote.
