With entries from over 100 Northern Ohio Wendy’s restaurants, Wendy’s and the Browns weren’t done celebrating fans yet! The second-place winner, Lily G., 9, received tickets to the November 19<\/span> game, a Browns autographed mini-helmet and a Wendy’s gift card. The two third-place winners, Salvatore C., 7, and Luke S., 9, and six fourth-place winners, Liam T., 9, Oliver C., 6, Carmine P., 11, Brooklyn D., 13, Beau W., 9, and Vander R., 9, also received Browns and Wendy’s prizes.<\/p>\n

“Wendy’s and the Cleveland Browns are excited to team up once again for the annual Jr. Reporter contest. This contest encourages kids in the greater Cleveland area to use their voice and get involved in journalism,” said John Willse<\/span>, Wendy’s franchisee and local Co-Op President. “Great food and a good game are always reasons to celebrate, but we’re especially proud to celebrate Lily who did a tremendous job interviewing Dustin Hopkins<\/span> – the future of sports journalism is bright.”<\/p>\n

Ahead of the November 19<\/span> game, Wendy’s hosted a celebratory lunch at a local Brunswick<\/span> restaurant for all 10 winners and their families from all around the greater Cleveland area. The celebration was complete with a surprise appearance by former Browns Wide Receiver Reggie Langhorne, who signed autographs, posed for pictures, and answered questions from the junior reporters.<\/p>\n

All of the kids, with a little help from their parent or guardian, entered the contest using an online form via the Cleveland Browns website and submitted a short video of themselves explaining why they should be this year’s Jr. Reporter.<\/p>\n

Sports (and great food) have a way of bringing communities together. Wendy’s is proud to continue its support of the Jr. Reporter program, giving future sports reporters a biggie<\/i> opportunity to champion their love of reporting on the game.<\/p>\n
