Nominations open for ‘Champions for Children’
The Champions for Children Luncheon is scheduled for noon on Wednesday, May 24 at The Riverhouse Convention Center. The event is an annual fundraiser/friend-raiser for Healthy Beginnings in support of its screening services for children in Central Oregon.
An important component of the luncheon is to recognize local Champions for Children. In recognition of the good work that is done by so many to improve the lives of young children in our community, Healthy Beginnings is asking for your help in identifying a community member that is deserving of recognition for their work on behalf of young children.
Healthy Beginnings invites you to nominate an individual whom you know personally or professionally as a Champion for Children. Nominations forms are available on the Healthy Beginnings website (www.myhb.org) or call the HB office at 541-383-6357 to receive a nomination form. Letters of support are allowed but must be received with the nomination.
Nominations for the 2017 Champion for Children award are due by 6 p.m. on May 12 . The winner will be determined by a selection committee. All nominees as well as this year’s Champion for Children will be honored at the Champions for Children Luncheon. All nominees and their guest are invited to attend the luncheon. Please RSVP for the luncheon at 541-383-6357 or email your RSVP to healthy.beginnings@hdesd.org no later than May 17 .
