The Year’s Event
Thursday, October 13, 2022—5:30 p.m.
Alabama Activity Center
Diamond Sponsor:
It would be an understatement to say 2020 was a challenging year for our country, our state, and our community. The COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions that accompanied it were unprecedented in our lifetimes. But in the Montgomery River Region we showed resilience, fortitude, grit, purpose, and community-spirit. We came together to share resources. We came together to educate our constituents and congregations. We came together to care for our fellow man.
It is in this spirit of community that the Board of Directors of the Samaritan Counseling Center decided to pivot from its usual recognition of ethics in business awards to recognize “heroes” that helped the River Region through the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2021 Delta version of the virus.
“Heroes” will be honored in six categories: Healthcare, Government, Non-Profits, Faith-Based Organizations, Business, and Education. We identified these heroes using private and public sources. We acknowledge up-front that this is not an exhaustive list of who stepped up to the task and that some would be omitted inadvertently in this effort. We ask for your understanding of our limitations and that this is our attempt to recognize a few individuals and organizations that stood out in the process.
