Voulenteer Fairfax Awards!

Our community is a better place because of volunteers. The LeapFrog Solutions team were proud to have the opportunity to honor some of the communities best supporters at Volunteer Fairfax's annual county-wide volunteer recognition event, attended by more than 550 community members.

The 17th annual Fairfax County Volunteer Service Awards was held on Friday, April 24, 2009. Where individuals and groups were nominated in one of 10 competitive categories and four non-competitive categories. All nominees receive a complimentary invitation to the event.

The "Benchmark Award” is a noncompetitive category that seeks to recognize those individuals whose dedicated volunteer efforts help keep nonprofits running. Youth who have completed at least 100 hours of volunteer service will be honored at the events. Adult nominees should be an individual who has given at least 250, 500 or 1,000 hours of service to a particular agency in calendar year 2008.

Established in 1993, the Fairfax County Volunteer Service Awards serve as a community-wide celebration of volunteerism. The Awards honor individuals, groups and organizations that have given outstanding volunteer service through a broad range of activities and programs. Over the last 16 years, Volunteer Fairfax has recognized more than 1,698 individuals for their commitment to the community.
