ABOUT THE VOLUNTEER SPIRIT AWARDS
BREAKFAST BENEFIT • TARRYTOWN
The Volunteer Spirit Awards celebration is the premier volunteer recognition event in our region, typically attended annually by over 600 community leaders and supporters of local volunteerism. Each spring during Global Volunteer Month, Volunteer New York! recognizes a distinguished group of volunteers who have done extraordinary work in our region. Volunteers are nominated in six categories, and an independent panel of judges selects one person or group for each category.
