With the cancellation of the in-person event in November, we adjusted our nomination process for 2020. 


Instead of awarding the remaining traditional categories, we will be dedicating two weeks in the month of November to showcasing the importance of philanthropy in our community. 

The Daniels Fund has graciously agreed to serve as our Outstanding Youth and Outstanding Youth Group sponsor. These two categories will follow our standard nomination process and each winner will receive a $3,000 cash award. The winners of Outstanding Youth and Outstanding Youth group were selected by our Youth Awards Task Force which is comprised of educators, community leaders, and other volunteers. The nomination for the youth awards is now closed.
