The Huffington Post is showing a video of Purpose Prize winners Elizabeth and Stephen Alderman, who created a foundation to honor their son.

Here are some of the highlights of the media coverage of the 2009 Purpose Prize winners:

NPR’s Health Blog features Tim Will, who brought broadband to Appalachia and connected rural farmers with restaurants eager for fresh local foods. Other winners mentioned are Don Coyhis of Colorado Springs, Colo., who created a substance abuse program for Native American that incorporates their values, and Connie Siskowski of Boca Raton, Fla., who formed a nonprofit that support children who become caregivers for ailing family members.

The Charlotte (N.C.) Observer also features Tim Wills, while The Colorado Springs Gazette recognizes Don Coyhis.

The Los Angeles Times spotlights two Californians, Judith Broder and Marcy Adelman. Broder started The Soldier’s Project, a network of health care professionals who provide free, confidential and unlimited therapy to service members and their families. Adelman started Open House. An organization that provides services for older lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender citizens. The Times also features Broder’s work in a more personal piece, “Soldiers Project Helps Vets Cope with War’s Mental Scars.”

The Huffington Post tells the story in words and video of Elizabeth and Stephen Alderman, who honored their son (who died during 9/11) by creating a nonprofit that helps heal the psychological wounds of terrorism.

The Philadelphia Inquirer focuses on James Smallwood, a $50,000 winner who turned his own life around after battling drug addiction and now arranges job training for drug addicts and former convicts.

PBS is offering a sneak peak of an upcoming episode on Purpose Prize winners that will appear on its series Life (Part 2).

KCRW Radio, an NPR affiliate in Los Angeles, features Purpose Prize winner Judith Broder in a Veterans Day broadcast about the invisible wounds of combat veterans in Iraq and Afghanistan. Broder participated in a panel discussion with a Marine Corps veteran and the director of PTSD outpatient services for the West L.A. Veterans Administration. (Her interview starts 25 minutes into the program.)

Broder’s Soldiers Project is also the subject of a story in the Los Angeles Daily News that profiles Army Spc. Jason Shaw, who saw six friends die in Iran and “carried a head full of anger and a soul racked by despair.”

Popular Science shows an illustration of Henry Liu’s underground tube cargo system in its story about the Purpose Prize recipient, who is a past winner of the magazine’s Inventions Award for his environmentally safe green bricks.

The Columbia (Mo.) Daily Tribune also highlights Liu’s honor, playing up his local connection as a former University of Missouri professor.

The Chronicle of Philanthropy recognizes all of the Purpose Prize winners.
