Community Foundation of Lorain County and Lorain County Community
College have joined forces to create an event that will celebrate
local women. The first annual Women of Compassion event will take
place on October 16, 2008, where 5 women will be honored for their
work in the community. Nominations are currently being accepted for
the Women of Compassion Awards. “We’re really looking for the unsung
heroes, the people working behind the scenes who are truly making a
difference,” says Beth Maiden with the Community Foundation. “Perhaps
it’s a teacher who has given extra time to a student or a nurse who
has really demonstrated compassion --these women and their efforts
deserve to be recognized and celebrated.”
Nominees must live or work in Lorain County. One special award for a
Rising Star is designated for a young woman aged 25 or under.
Nomination forms are available from the Foundation’s website
www.PeopleWhoCare.org or by calling 323-4445 or 277-0142. All
nominations are due to the Community Foundation by Monday, June 2,
2008.
Nominations will be reviewed by a committee of volunteers and LCCC and
Community Foundation staff. Nominees will then be celebrated at a
gala luncheon at the Spitzer Conference Center that will be open to
the general public on October 16 hosted by Brooke Taylor, morning show
personality from 95.5 FM the FISH. Proceeds from the event will
benefit LCCC’s Women’s Link program and the Community Foundation’s
Women’s Fund.
