This year, Charities Director Kelly Levy will present the awarded organizations with their donation to thank the donors, volunteers and board members who helped make this possible. “By volunteering and seeing firsthand the commitment and dedication of each nonprofit is extraordinary. It is comforting to be a part of a strong community that continues to make a significant impact as an entirety.”
