The 2018 Russ Berrie Making a Difference Award
IT'S TIME TO NOMINATE YOUR NEW JERSEY HERO!
Deadline: February 16, 2018
Celebrate a local hero by nominating them for the Russ Berrie Making a Difference Award by February 16th!
The Russ Berrie Making a Difference Award recognizes those who make New Jersey a better place. Every year the Russell Berrie Foundation honors "unsung" New Jersey heroes who have made an uncommon contribution to the common good.
Up to eleven extraordinary people can receive this award, with the top three awards at $50,000, $35,000 and $25,000 – and up to eight awards of $5,000 each.
Please nominate an "unsung" hero in your own community. You can nominate someone for a single act or for a lifetime of service. An Advisory Board of prominent New Jersey citizens will select the final honorees and they will be honored at a ceremony in May 2018.
Honor Your Hero Now!
