The Lycoming County Brotherhood Alliance is seeking the help of the public to nominate individuals in area communities that make a dramatic impact and live a life of service to others without compensation or expecting anything in return.
The alliance's board of directors recognizes that there are many individuals in the community that make a difference in the lives of others and are never acknowledged, nor do they seek recognition for what they do, but do it because of their love of people and great concern for the overall good of mankind.
"These UNSUNG HEROES can be found in churches, synagogues, schools, PTA's, service clubs, private clubs, lunch rooms, kid's clubs, amongst our neighbors and many other numerous places that we might not be aware of," a news release said. "An UNSUNG HERO is an individual in Lycoming County who would normally not be recognized nor would expect to be recognized. This is an individual who isn't working or serving in an executive position of a business, organization or service club that serves others. This is an individual who participates in a private activity or a variety of activities (ie: church, vacation bible schools; cafeterias, school, community centers, sports fields, fire companies, boy/girl scouts, kid's camps, parks, playgrounds, neighborhoods, etc.) that is beneficial to the lives of the people and community in which he or she serves. The Brotherhood seeks individuals that are humble in character and not serving in order to seek recognition; nor being paid in an occupation that serves others. This is someone with a heart for volunteerism that by their service to others exemplifies the true meaning of brotherhood."
The alliance asks people to send the alliance the name, address, phone number and email of the person they are nominating and a description of the reasons they make an impact in the lives of others and why the person making the submission feel they should receive recognition.
Respondents should also include their own name, address, phone number and email so the alliance can contact them should the group need additional information.
Submissions should be emailed to dawn@arwwilliamsport.org or ekzangara@gmail.com or sent via USPS to: Lycoming County Brotherhood Alliance, P O Box 1884, Williamsport, PA 17701. Be sure to include UNSUNG HERO AWARD in the subject line.
All submissions must be postmarked or dated no later than Jan. 15, 2025. Submissions received after January 15th, 2025 will be too late for consideration for the year 2025 but could possibly be considered in 2026.
