Nominate an Unsung Hero for a Spirit of Women Award
Sacred Heart Women’s Hospital is issuing the call for regional nominations for its Eighth Annual Spirit of Women Awards. Nominations are due Jan. 24, 2007.
The Spirit of Women Awards Program is designed to honor “unsung heroes” who are making a positive impact in Northwest Florida and throughout the nation. Eligible for nomination are ordinary women who are making an extraordinary difference in their neighborhoods or communities, such as healthcare workers, volunteers, businesswomen, educators, or other women working to make Northwest Florida a better place to live. Nomination categories include:
• Youth Recipient, ages 14-21
• Community Recipient, ages 22 and up
• Healthcare Provider
Since Sacred Heart began holding the event, four of its regional award winners have gone on to capture the national Spirit of Women title in all three categories – Catherine Gallagher, 2005 community winner; Dr. Marilyn Robinson, 2003 community winner; Ann White, 2001 health care winner; and Katherine Tillman, 1999 youth winner.
All nominees will be invited to the Seventh Annual Spirit of Women Awards Gala on Feb. 27, 2007 at 7p.m. at the Saenger Theatre in downtown Pensacola. The public is invited to the celebration. Tickets are $5 each and can be purchased by calling (850) 969-0682.
Regional winners’ nominations are forwarded to the national committee for consideration for national recognition. National winners will be recognized at the national gala.
