The Dublin Chamber of Commerce and Dublin City Schools Present the Community Champion Awards

The Community Champion Awards is an awards program sponsored by the Dublin Chamber of Commerce Civic Foundation and Dublin City Schools that honors students in grades 4-12 and staff of the Dublin City School District.  In its third year, Dublin's Community Champion Awards program aims to nurture young citizens who engage in society through leadership and service, and honor students and staff of the Dublin City School district who exemplify the best of volunteerism, character, leadership, and a sense of caring and responsibility for others. 

This year's awards ceremony will be held at Jerome High School's Center for Performing Arts on Saturday, April 5, 2008, from 10 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. with a reception immediately following.

Each Community Champion receives a limited edition Community Champion Award medal.  In addition, six seniors (two from each high school) will receive a $500 cash scholarship, one student in each grade 4-11 will receive a $100 savings bond and one Dublin City Schools staff member will have a $500 donation made in their name to the school project of their choice.

Nominations are accepted online starting Jan. 3, 2008.

Do you know a student or staff member in the Dublin City School District who goes the extra mile to make the community a better place? Maybe it is someone who organized a fund raiser for the homeless; someone who lends support and time to a youth group; or someone who volunteers to tutor younger students. These people are the Community Champions that we want to honor, but it is up to you to nominate them.

To make the event a success, community support is essential. Various sponsorship packages are available to local businesses who wish to make a difference and increase their involvement and visibility in the community. If your business would like to sponsor the Community Champion Awards, call the Chamber at 614-889-2001.
