This Year’s Annual Making a Difference Awards banquet to be held January 25

This Year’s Annual Making a Difference Awards will be presented soon. The annual awards, sponsored by Richland Rejuvenates and WRCO Radio, will be presented at the annual banquet held this year on Sunday, January 25, at the Phoenix Center Banquet Hall in Richland Center.

This awards program was started to honor those who have made a difference in our daily lives. It is meant to be a time when the community and county can stop and say thank you and recognize those efforts. Nominations are needed from community residents to identify those special people that may go unnoticed by the community.

It is the community and citizens of the greater Richland County area because they are the ones that truly know who these people are as many of those deserving recognition do the things, they do to make a difference quietly and unnoticed. These awards may be given for work done in the previous 12 months, or for an entire body of work. 

Nominations are being accepted for: Employee of the Year; Business of the Year; Outstanding Organization Award; Civic Leadership Award; Non-Profit of the Year; The Best Face Forward Award; Community Stewardship Award; The Emergency Responder Award; The Educator of the Year; Medical Hero Award or Health Care Professional of the Year award; and Up and Coming Youth Award.
