Searching for Community Champions ... Everyday People Who Care!

Every community or neighborhood has someone who gives of their time to help others. Maybe it is a relative, a co-worker, a neighbor or a friend.

Fifteen years ago the Phoenixville Community Health Foundation began the  Champions of the Community Award to honor these unsung heroes of the greater Phoenixville region, whether that be in Phoenixville, Royersford, Spring City, Limerick, Mont Clare, Collegeville -- or anywhere in between. Since that time sixty three people have been honored as community champions.

WHY NOT ACKNOWLEDGE AND HONOR YOUR COMMUNITY’S UNSUNG HEROES?   The Foundation needs the community to help find these quiet heroes. Perhaps you know of someone who deserves to be recognized -- someone who made a personal sacrifice to improve the lives of others, someone who served as a mentor to youth and positive role model for others, someone who provides spiritual or moral leaderships in the community, or simply someone  who has been kind and helpful to others throughout their life. People of any age -- young and old alike -- who volunteer or otherwise give of time and talents, in service to the communities of the greater Phoenixville region.

The Phoenixville Community Health Foundation is currently seeking nominees for the 2015 Champions of the Community Awards.  Please contact the Foundation for a nomination packet, or you can access the nomination form from the Foundation’s website. Up to four Champions will be chosen. These individual, as well as all nominees, will be honored at a special event in November 2015.

The nomination deadline is Friday, October 9, 2015. SO LOOK AROUND YOUR COMMUNITY ... CHANCES ARE YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS VERY DESERVING OF A NOMINATION.  For more information, please call Lynn Pike Hartman, Vice President-Programs at the Phoenixville Community Health Foundation at 610-917-9890, or LPHartman@pchf1.org, or access the Foundation’s website at www.pchf1.org.
