Join us for the annual Centennial Awards, a fun, after-work cocktail reception which is the Princeton Family YMCA's annual major fundraising event. Each year, local businesses, corporations and individuals are invited to support event and the YMCA mission in the Princeton region. Click here for a more detailed Fact Sheet.
Created in honor of the YMCA of Princeton's 100th year milestone celebrated in 2008, the Centennial Award honors four to five distinguished individuals in a profession or field of achievement. A unique feature of the event is that the program is conducted entirely by young people, ages 10 - 18, who are regular participants in YMCA programs. They serve as the evening's moderators and present the awards. Before the event, each honoree is interviewed by his or her young presenter, and shares his or her personal story.
Nominate someone to be recognized! In 2010, the Centennial Award will be presented to remarkable people who have made a difference in our region by demonstrating outstanding commitment and leadership to mentoring children, teenagers, young adults and/or young professionals, and who consistently demonstrate the YMCA's four core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility in their actions.
Four to five honorees will be chosen who exemplify the highest achievements in their field; whose successes have shown not only their talents but a willingness to take risks and to challenge the status quo; and whose hard work and commitment has made our community a better place in which to live. Nominations are due June 22, 2010. Click here for a simple Nomination Form.
