Coconino Coalition for Children and Youth now accepting nominations for the 2006 Caring for Children Awards

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Each year at a Child Abuse Prevention Month Kick-off Luncheon (April 3rd), the Coconino Coalition for Children & Youth honors a few people who are truly deserving of recognition for their work on behalf of the young people of Coconino County.

This award is intended to honor those front-line individuals (not supervisors) who do great things, often with little recognition, to improve the lives of our kids.  Those who are selected will be our guests at the Kick-off luncheon on April 3rd where we will honor them for their service.

Please consider nominating someone for this year's award.  Just write a few paragraphs (no more than a page) telling us why your nominee should receive the Caring for Children Award (supporting statements from supervisors are also helpful).  Nominations will be reviewed by the Coalition's Child Abuse Prevention Committee.  Nominations must be received in our office no later than March 15.
