Volunteer.
Just the word conjures up the image of an individual who gives selflessly for the service of others.
They are the backbone of every community.
Richmond has a proud history of volunteerism, a legacy that grows annually.
Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives (RCRG) is now accepting nominations for the 2020 Volunteers Are Stars Awards, which will be held April 16 at Pacific Gateway Hotel.
The event is Richmond’s largest celebration of volunteerism, honouring the many individuals and groups who give their time so our community can shine.
“As Richmond’s volunteer centre, our job isn’t just to encourage volunteerism, but to highlight its everyday impact, and the people who make it happen,” says Ed Gavsie, president and chief executive officer of RCRG. “We can tell that story through Volunteers Are Stars.”
You can submit multiple nominations across four categories, recognizing individual, group, and youth volunteers, as well as non-profit leaders.
In all, seven awards will be handed out, but all nominees will be acknowledged during the event, which is expected to attract upwards of 250 attendees.
“The fact that Volunteers Are Stars is consistently sold out says a great deal about our community,” says Gavsie. “In Richmond, we value the role that volunteers play, and we’re enthusiastic in thanking them for all that they do.”
To nominate a star volunteer, visit www.rcrg.org/vas and complete the online form. The final day to submit a nomination is March 23.
The 2020 Volunteers Are Stars Awards are presented by RCRG and Pacific Gateway Hotel, with additional support from Trinity Western University, McDonald’s, and the Dupuis Langen Group.
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.
