Community Commitment Award

The Community Commitment Award recognizes an individual, couple, or family with a record of exceptional generosity and outstanding civic or charitable responsibility. The ideal nominee for this award not only provides significant financial support to nonprofit organizations and community projects, but also fosters a culture of active engagement with the nonprofit sector. This may include serving as a board member or fundraising campaign chair, volunteering time and services, or creating their own successful community event or nonprofit program.
