For the past 41 years, the Annual Volunteer Recognition and Awards Dinner has served as an opportunity to thank the most dedicated community members in the city. It is with great honor that we begin organizing the dinner, in partnership with the City of Hayward, to continue to pay tribute to so many selfless volunteers.

Please join us, as we honor these volunteers at the 42nd Annual Volunteer Recognition and Awards Dinner on October 8, 2019, at St. Rose Hospital’s Grand White Tent.

We invite your agency to participate and to select a volunteer to be recognized as part of the “Hearts of Hayward” awards at this remarkable event. Below is a nomination form that must be returned to us no later than May 15, 2019. After your nomination has been received, you and your agency will be contacted by a member of the Volunteer Dinner Committee who will provide further information of the event.

Once the award winners are chosen, the volunteers’ contributions to the organization will be highlighted in an event program and ceremony. We ask award winners please attend the event as complimentary guests of the Volunteer Dinner Committee; up to two guests will be complimentary for multi-winner awards, per agency.

In addition and optional to selecting a volunteer from your own agency, you may nominate for the John N. Pappas Humanitarian award. The Pappas Humanitarian Award is presented every year to a community volunteer who exemplifies community spirit and ownership. If you know of a deserving individual that has excelled in his or her field, please offer your suggestion on the attached nomination form.

We thank you for the work that you and your agency do to improve our community. Please feel free to contact Ginny DeMartini at (510) 670-6150 with any questions.
