Celebrating Solutions Awards

From my email today:

The Mary Byron Project created the Celebrating Solutions Awards to showcase and applaud local innovations that demonstrate promise in breaking the cycle of violence. We select programs that can serve as models for the nation and offer $10,000 cash awards in recognition of their pioneering efforts.

Nominations for 2009-2010 are now open. The deadline for submission (must be postmarked by) November 17, 2009. Current year 2009-2010 nomination form is now available.

Here is the website: http://www.marybyronproject.org/CelebratingSolutions.html
