The Surprise Community Legend Awards program is currently seeking nominations for individuals and organizations making notable contributions within the city, as reported by the City News. This initiative by the City of Surprise Veterans, Disability & Human Services Commission is a call to the public to recognize the grassroots efforts that have measurably improved the lives of the city's residents, particularly those most vulnerable.
The commission is inviting Surprise community members to put forward names in four distinct categories: the Individual Legend Award, for a Surprise resident of at least two years; the Outstanding Youth Award, for individuals 18 years or younger; the Volunteer of the Year Award, requiring an organizational affiliation; and the Organization of the Year Award, open to private, non-profit or faith-based groups. Contributions that have enhanced quality of life, promoted accessibility and equity, or effectively linked residents to vital support programs are at the heart of this recognition, as outlined in the City News release.
Nominations for the awards are currently open, and interested parties can find the necessary information and an online nomination form on the city's official website. Significantly, this award serves as a beacon, highlighting the good within the community, and showcases the achievements of those often working behind the scenes to uplift and empower others.
Complete submissions must be sent by 5:00 p.m. on June 27, addressing any questions to the Human Service & Community Vitality Department through [email protected].
