December 15 Deadline to Nominate Nonprofit Volunteers of the Year

The Community Foundation of the Florida Keys is accepting nominations for its 22nd annual Unsung Heroes Celebration, recognizing the tremendous efforts of our community’s volunteers. The online nomination form is available at cffk.org/unsung and the deadline is Wednesday, December 15.

Every nonprofit or faith-based organization in the Florida Keys is invited to nominate a volunteer to be honored. Honorees will be recognized at a celebration on Friday, February 4, 2022, at noon, at the Key West Marriott Beachside. Each participating nonprofit will receive two complimentary tickets to the event thanks to sponsor Lower Keys Medical Center.

“We are honored to partner with our community organizations to serve those in need. After the challenges of the past two years, it is especially meaningful to be celebrating these Unsung Heroes whose volunteer efforts and passion could not be put on hold when community need remained”, said Lower Keys Medical Center CEO David Clay.

Keys volunteers donate their time and services to give much-needed help for our community, including cleaning up beaches, supplying food to children and families in need, fostering animals, mentoring students, assisting at homeless shelters, and more. “The Keys offer us a beautiful place to live, but our community volunteers are the living heart within that beauty,” said Community Foundation board chair Susanne Woods. “It is an honor to honor them.”

More than 1,400 volunteers have been recognized since the event was started 22 years ago. For more information, call 305-292-1502 or visit cffk.org/unsung.
