Caring Institute Accepting Nominations for the Caring Award

Deadline: September 28, 2008

The Caring Institute is now accepting nominations of individuals of all ages for the Caring Award. Nominations should describe, in at least 500 words, individuals who personify caring, and would be a worthy role model to be emulated by others. Letters of recommendation should be included to give testimony to a long-standing commitment to public service.

Nominations should give consideration to: length of service; scope and impact of work; degree of difficulty and obstacles encountered; and imagination and innovation. Award recipients are flown to Washington, D.C., and honored at a special ceremony. Young adult recipients receive educational monies for college tuition.
