Save the Date!Do you know someone who is making a significant difference in your community . . . a person, organization or business that is having a positive impact on the lives of those around them?
Dominion Virginia Power and WHRO are partnering to recognize our community’s unsung heroes with the fourth annual Community Impact Awards. We want to honor people or organizations that work at the grassroots level; people who are, generally, under-appreciated for the selfless work they willingly do to help others.
WHRO is now accepting nominations for the 2012 Community Impact Awards. We’re asking you to help us honor our unsung heroes by nominating a person or organization that is making a real difference in our community. There are five categories we want to recognize – environment, education, regionalism, health and public safety and social justice. One honoree will be chosen in each category to receive a $1,000 award for the charity of his or her choice. Winners will be recognized on Thursday, May 17, 2012 at a luncheon at the Norfolk Marriott Waterside.
Congratulations to the 2011 Community Impact Award Recipients! Be sure to watch their inspirational videos below.
