United Way is accepting nominations for two community awards

The Yuba-sutter-colusa United Way is accepting nominations for two community awards to be presented during the Celebration of Service and Awards Breakfast at 8 a.m. July 26.

One of the community’s most prestigious awards, the Pedro Award, is given to an individual who demonstrates a lifetime willingness to help his/her fellow man without thought of personal gain. Residents of Yuba, Sutter and Colusa counties are eligible to receive the award.

The Pedro Award originated in 1977 when the Yuba-suttercolusa United Way received a generous contribution with a simple note saying, “to help others” and was signed, “Pedro.”

The Nancy Ferreira Leadership Award recognizes a person or organization most significantly contributing to the Yuba-sutter-colusa United Way annual fundraising campaign.

The honor is named after Nancy Ferreira, a long-time executive director for Yuba-suttercolusa United Way.

Nomination forms are now available by calling 743-1847 or emailing terry@yscunitedway. org. Completed forms must be received no later than noon on July 20.

The celebratory awards breakfast costs $20 and will be at the Plaza Room, Hillcrest Plaza, 210 Julie Drive in Yuba City. Main number .................... Steve Miller ...................... Andrew Cummins .............
