Humanitarian Award

The Humanitarian Award was established in 2007 to recognize individuals, projects or groups that have made outstanding contributions in the community. The 2010 Humanitarian Award application deadline is Sept. 3.

The recipient of the award is recognized annually at the annual Association/CMLS Holiday Luncheon. In addition, the recipient receives a crystal award in his or her honor and the opportunity to donate at least $1,000 to a designated 501(c)(3) organization of his or her choice.
