Efren Penaflorida Declared 2009 CNN Hero of the Year

The official proclamation was held during the conclusion of the third annual "CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute" last Saturday night at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. The event will premiere on TV on the 26th of November on CNN's global network.
Peñaflorida also received a $100,000 cash prize which will definitely be of great help in funding and improving his roving pushcart classroom advocacy.
