Know a great volunteer? The United Way would like to hear from you

The United Way of Central New York is seeking nominations for its Exceptional Community Volunteer Award.

The award recognizes volunteers who have provided support and made constructive contributions to the agencies they serve. Nominations are due by 4 p.m. March 11. Anyone who works with a volunteer who might be deserving of the award can download an application from the United Way's website (www.unitedway-cny.org)

"Many human service agencies in Central New York depend on dedicated volunteers to keep overhead low and stay efficient," said Frank Lazarski, United Way president. "We're always amazed by the generosity displayed by the nominees for this award and it's always difficult to choose a winner, but it's humbling to see that the rich tradition of volunteerism is alive and well in our friends and neighbors. This is just one small way we can show them that we're grateful for their service."

The award will be presented at the agency's Achievements in Caring event April 13 at the Palace Theatre.
