VOTY 2018

Volunteer of the Year is our end of year celebration of all the great work our local nonprofits and volunteers accomplish! This year’s event will be hosted at Ballad Brewing in the heart of the River District on the evening of December 17th, 2018 from 5:30-7PM.

The Volunteer of the Year program welcomes community nominations of individuals they believe embody the spirit of volunteerism and who give back to their community through our time and efforts. After the nomination period concludes, there is a community wide vote and a committee selection process to determine the two Volunteer of the Year award recipient winners. The volunteer winners will then have a gift package donated in their name to the local nonprofit of their choice (see the rules and prizes tab located above for details). In order to emphasize the gift all volunteers give, the event is also a recognition ceremony for all nominees, and a time to recognize the nonprofit organizations themselves for the impact they have on our region. Let us know you’ll be joining us by responding to our Facebook event page!

Nominations: Nominations are currently closed!

Voting: Voting closed on December 12th. We held our celebration event on Monday, December 17th from 5:30-7PM! Thank you to everyone that attended!
