2007
Do you know someone who is always pitching in to help build a stronger community but never expects any recognition for it? If so, perhaps he or she would be a good candidate for the Pentucket People’s Foundation’s Seventh Annual Stand and Be Counted Award.
The award honors courage, leadership, and persistence in unheralded but vital work for the betterment of people in the community. The recipient exemplifies the noblest aspects of volunteerism and engages in activities not for want of money or recognition, but for achievement or realization of a greater social good.
To nominate someone for the award, please submit the person’s name, the reason for nomination, and your contact information (name, telephone number, and email). Mail nominations to Pentucket People’s Foundation, P.O. Box 548, Haverhill, MA, 01831, or email them to info@pentucketpeoplesfoundation.org.
The Stand and Be Counted Award is inspired by a book of the same title, authored by rock musician and social activist David Crosby.
