Abbott Awards Arizona Mother $135,000 in National Similac(R) Contest
Infant formula maker recognizes hard-working moms for the second consecutive year.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 13 -- Amy Kaminski, a mom from Tucson, Ariz., is the grand prize winner of $135,000 in the second annual "Similac Mom's Payday" contest, sponsored by Abbott. Kaminski earned the title after her entry was chosen from more than 30,000 photo essays.
According to a recent survey by Salary.com, a typical mom like Kaminski should earn $135,000 per year based on her daily activities -- a $5,000 raise over last year's figure. The Similac Mom's $135K Payday contest invited moms and moms-to-be to submit a photo showing their favorite "mom job," along with a brief caption.
An early childhood educator and owner of the Tucson-based Whole Child Learning Co., Kaminski drew inspiration for her entry from the myriad of activities she performs every day while caring for her 7-month-old daughter and 2-year-old son. Kaminski's entry won over the panel of mom-judges with its witty caption and humorous photo. Her winning caption reads:
All in a day's work: Accountant, activities director, chef, chauffer, counselor, delivery service, dispatcher, emergency responder, financial planner, judge, life coach, maid, music instructor, nurse, personal shopper, photographer, record keeper, rent-a-techie, rodeo clown, secretary, set designer, teacher, travel agent; whatever you call it, this Mom's favorite job is juggling!
