In addition to these awards, there is also a special category called Be More Involved which is presented to an individual who has volunteered for at least three non-profit organizations for a year or longer. The recipient of this award will have the opportunity to select which non-profit organization they serve will receive a cash award.

Thanks to the generous support from the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County, each honoree will receive $1,000 for their chosen non-profit organization. This partnership between organizations such as IU Credit Union, United Way of South Central Indiana, and WTIU Public Television has made it possible for these awards to take place.

Established in 2003 by the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation, this national honor recognizes individuals for their exceptional service and dedication to their communities. The City of Bloomington Volunteer Network is proud to serve as a certifying organization for this prestigious award.
