IT'S TIME TO NOMINATE YOUR NJ HERO FOR 2016!


The Russ Berrie Making a Difference Award
IT'S TIME TO NOMINATE YOUR NJ HERO FOR 2016!
Deadline: February 19, 2016

Help celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Russ Berrie Making a Difference Award by nominating your own NJ hero by February 19th!

The Russ Berrie Making a Difference Award recognizes those who make New Jersey a better place. Every year the Russell Berrie Foundation honors “unsung” NJ heroes who have made an uncommon contribution to the common good.

Up to eleven extraordinary people can receive this award, with the top three at $50,000, $35,000 and $25,000 – and up to eight runners-up receiving $5,000 each.

Please nominate an“unsung” hero in your own community. You can nominate someone for a single act or for a lifetime of service. An Advisory Board of prominent New Jersey citizens will select the final honorees and they will be honored at a ceremony in May, 2016.

Please feel free to pass along this information to others. You can find out more, read about past honorees and nominate a hero online here.
