How will volunteers be honored?2021-09-30T14:18:43-05:00

Volunteers will be recognized in a video with all Honorees in our VolaParty Program premiere taking place on October 28. We will also share each Volunteer Honoree’s image in a Facebook album created for all Honorees. The link to the Facebook album will be created and sent to the nominating organization.

Special video messages and notes of gratitude will be shared with volunteers as well. We will do our best to make this as special an event as possible, given our virtual format.

How is Volunteer Honoree Nomination Form used?2021-09-30T14:19:02-05:00

The Nomination Form will be used to create an image slide of each Honoree. Then all images are woven together with all Honorees being recognized in a final video premiered at our VolaParty Program on October 28.

At our VolaParty Program we will have a few special features too. Of course, there will be messages of gratitude shared, but we will also do a live raffle drawing to donate two (2) ‘Volunteer Investment’ Grants in the amount of $500 each to an organization who nominates volunteers for recognition.

We will also donate one (1) copy of Joan Garry’s book ‘Guide to Nonprofit Leadership’ to the first 25 organizations who join our VolaParty!
