Nominations open for 2025 Knights of Pythias volunteer award

‘Tis the season for giving, lending a helping hand and making a difference. 

In that spirit, the Community Foundation of the Kootenay Rockies (CKFR) is welcoming nominations for the 2025 Knights of Pythias Community Volunteer Award. The honour recognizes an individual who gives their time and energy to help others and create a positive impact to the Cranbrook community- without expecting attention or a pat on the back.

Residents can nominate someone who catches your eye for their thoughtful manner and actions, by completing an online form at https://forms.gle/wPTywCQ3J2zw7vPx5 .

The recipient of the award will have the opportunity to direct a $750 donation to any local CRA-registered charity.

Nominations are open until Nov. 24. Preference will go towards any individual who have not received the award in the past. The CKFR will announce the winner on Giving Tuesday, Dec. 2.

The foundation hopes the recipient will inspire many others to live as selflessly as them.
