A MAHONING VALLEY TRADITION
Each year since 2005, the Valley Legacy Awards program has honored civic-minded seniors and senior advocates for their dedication to the Mahoning Valley.
A luncheon event is held in the fall at which we celebrate both those who have established a lasting legacy of service, and individuals who inspire others through their actions and deeds. Recipients are nominated in one of two categories by members of the community: Outstanding Senior and Outstanding Advocate for Seniors.
Outstanding Senior Award
Individuals nominated in this category have demonstrated a lifelong commitment to the community through professional, volunteer, or civic activities. Each must be considered a positive role model and be at least 60 years of age.
Outstanding Senior Advocate Award
Nominated in this category are individuals of any age or a volunteer group that demonstrated an exceptional effort to assist seniors through professional, volunteer, or civic activities.
