“We have eight different categories where individuals can win awards,” said Matt Hohner of the Volunteer Center of Brown County. “A youth award, adult award, lifetime achievement award—there’s small group, large group. We had a record number of nominees this year, which is just amazing and it shows the commitment this community has to giving back.”
