We are sending out a call for nominations for OHAF’s Child Health Advocate of the Year award. Please begin thinking of someone in your organization who has been an outstanding advocate for local children’s critical health issues. This individual must be a full or part time employee or independent contractor for a 501(c)(3) organization in our service area. In addition to the award and personal recognition, an unrestricted grant in the amount of $5,000 will be presented in the winner’s honor to their employer recognizing their commitment to children’s critical health needs. Deadline for nominations is on September 6th and the award winner will be announced at the Association of Fundraising Professionals Annual Philanthropy Day awards luncheon scheduled for mid-November.
