CHARACTER COUNTS! OPENS NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2014 PILLAR OF CHARACTER AWARD

Do you know someone that is always there when a person needs some help? Someone who volunteers consistently at your church or service organization? Or do you know a group of youth that have gotten together to raise money for a sick friend? What about a business that continuously says YES when asked for just one more contribution? This is your chance to recognize that individual, group or business.

The award honors an individual, a business/industry, government agency, non-profit organization, and or middle/high school students who have exemplified the spirit of the Character Counts! initiative through their actions and deeds. The Six Pillars of Character are Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship. 

Nominations will be accepted through Friday, October 31, 2014. Anyone (youth or adult) can enter a nomination. To nominate a person, group, or business, go to www.growinguppositive.org and download the 2014 Pillar of Character nomination application. To have one sent to you or for additional questions contact Jacki Carter, CC! Development Coordinator at 410-758-6677 or Jcarter@qac.org. The award winner(s) will be announced at the QAC Commissioners’ Meeting on Tuesday, November 25, 2014.
