In this, its inaugural year, the award is presented to a special individual who has made a measurable difference in Morgan County through his or her volunteerism. In addition to the recognition, the award recipient will receive a cash award of $2,000 that can be designated to a nonprofit (s) of his/her choice.
The Newton Fund will host a special evening on February 23 at The Center to award its Pat Patrick Big Heart Award to an individual selected as the community’s most distinguished volunteer.
