Bloomington, IN - The City of Bloomington Volunteer Network and its partners invite Bloomington and Monroe County residents to the "Be More" Awards, a community-wide celebration of volunteerism on Tues., April 27, at 7 p.m. at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater on Kirkwood Ave.
Eighty three individuals and volunteer groups have been nominated for awards in nine categories. Each award will be presented by a different community member, including Mayor Mark Kruzan, IU Dean of Students Harold "Pete" Goldsmith and local realtor Juan Carlos Carrasquel. Joe Hren of WTIU will be the Master of Ceremonies.
The award categories are: Be More Collaborative (group or family), Be More Creative (arts & culture), Be More Phenomenal (board member), Be More Involved (college student), Be More Energized (youth), Be More Knowledgeable (education & literacy), Be More Sustainable (environmental or animal welfare), Be More Dedicated (lifetime of service) and Be More Bloomington (overall excellence). The evening will feature the announcement of the nine awards along with great stories, inspirational photos, incredible people and their extraordinary efforts to make our community the best it can be.
New this year is the People's Choice award. This award recipient was chosen through an online voting process, where volunteers had the opportunity to vote daily for their favorite place to volunteer.
The Volunteer Network, which is celebrating its 30th year, has showcased community volunteerism since its inception in 1980.
The Be More Awards are produced by the City of Bloomington Volunteer Network in partnership with the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County, the IU Credit Union, the United Way of Monroe County and WTIU Public Television.
