Volunteers continually make a difference and
Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives wants to say thank you.
Help recognize a volunteer you know by
nominating them for the 2019 Volunteers Are Stars Awards April 9 at Pacific
Gateway Hotel.
Nominations can be submitted online until March 11.
The awards gala showcases the efforts of the
many individuals and groups who give so generously of their time to make the
community shine.
"It's a celebration of volunteers and
all that they contribute to our community," says Ed Gavsie, president and
chief executive officer of Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives. "From
healthcare, to social services, to sports and recreation, volunteers are part
of the fabric of Richmond, making a difference every day."
Seven awards will be presented in four
categories, with nominations being accepted for the following:
• individual volunteers
• volunteer groups
• youth volunteers
• non-profit leaders
"Last year, the community submitted 43
nominations," says Gavsie. "Every one of them was a brilliant,
inspiring volunteer, and that will surely be the case again in 2019. With so
many volunteers doing amazing work, we'd love to see even more nominations this
year."
Following a two-year hiatus, the Volunteers
Are Stars Awards returned in 2018, with over 250 community members attending
the sold-out event.
Pacific Gateway Hotel will serve as host and
presenting sponsor for the second year in a row.
"Pacific Gateway Hotel is a wonderful
community supporter," says Gavsie. "We're proud to work with them
again to honour Richmond's outstanding volunteers."
Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives (RCRG) is a
registered charity that serves as a hub for volunteering and giving. RCRG is
also a direct service provider, operating a Child Care Resource Referral
Centre, the Richmond Christmas Fund, and a variety of Seniors Community Support
Services.
