Community Hero Awards

Nominations for 2009 Community Heroes have concluded.  Please consider nominating a "Community Hero" next year.

The Coalition for Children's Mental Health wants to recognize people with a special place in their hearts for children who are too frequently unsung heroes in our community at our Annual Awards Banquet. Please take a moment to nominate teachers, counselors, coaches, youth ministers, neighbors, bus drivers, grandparents, tutors, shopkeepers, club leaders, young people or anyone you know who deserves recognition for their commitment to our youth.

Congratulations to this year's Community Heroes:

Kim LaScola
Sherri Bevan Walsh
Fran Scalise
Tony Bouquot
Jeff Knoblauch
Scott Graber
Abbie Hackett
Acme Pharmacy in Hudson
