Awards

    13^th Annual
    Champion For Children
    Awards

The Champion for Children conference and luncheon recognizes individuals and businesses who make a positive difference in our area. In 2005, the Champion for Children award was created to provide an opportunity for the community to come together and honor the often unsung heroes who strive to help children overcome trauma and reclaim their lives. The award celebrates the life changing work of professionals in our community.

The Champion for Children Award Committee will only be accepting nominations until March 2, 2012. Only complete packets can be considered. Once a decision has been made regarding the 2012 Champion for Children Award recipients, a committee member will contact the nominating person via email and will request a photograph of the recipient. Photos and edited descriptions will be furnished to local media and included in the Luncheon Program.
