CWC Outstanding Senior Volunteer
The Center is coordinating Crow Wing County’s Outstanding Senior Volunteer of the Year Award, and we are asking for your help in identifying deserving candidates.
Every year, extraordinary seniors quietly give their time, talents, and heart to strengthen our county, and we want to celebrate them. This award recognizes those individuals whose volunteer efforts make a meaningful difference in our community.
Please review the enclosed information and consider nominating a senior volunteer, age 70 +, from your organization. We encourage you to speak with the individual beforehand, as many dedicated volunteers are modest about their service.
Award recipients will be honored at:
- The Center’s Picnic
- The Crow Wing County Fair Senior Day
- The Distinguished Service Awards Banquet
The 2026 award winners will be announced at The Center’s Picnic on July 21, 2026.
We hope to receive nominations that reflect the strong spirit of volunteerism throughout Crow Wing County. Thank you for helping us recognize and celebrate the seniors who strengthen our community.
