We will honor those professionals and organizations that continue to make a positive impact on the community and do so under difficult financial constraints. Equally as important are the efforts of the corporations supporting these nonprofits. Many corporate executives volunteer time on boards and lend support through financial donations and sponsorships. These awards recognize both equally important groups.
