Community Encouraged to Submit Nominations for the 2022 George B. Weaver Jr. Footprints Award

The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation (NCCF) is currently accepting nominations for the George B. Weaver Jr. Footprints Award. The purpose of the award is to recognize and honor those in the community who have created “footprints” for others to follow in through their philanthropy and volunteerism. It is not a requirement that nominees have an affiliation with the NCCF.

“We encourage community members to nominate those who are passionate about northern Chautauqua and who consistently demonstrate their passion by selflessly giving of their own time and funds,” says Diane Hannum, NCCF’s Executive Director.

Nominees should have a strong history of volunteerism, philanthropic endeavors (financial support not necessarily measured in number of dollars), and activities that have impacted the community and enhanced the social and cultural climate of northern Chautauqua County. Past award recipients include George B. Weaver Jr.; Dallas Beal; Robert Maytum; Jim & Carol Boltz; Donald Q. Eno; the founding NCCF Board of Directors & the first elected Board of Directors; Richard S. Johnson; Edwin L. Hamlet; Doug & Ann Manly; Richard Anson; Steve & Helen Baran; Steve & Sue Cobb; Dick & Carmen Gilman; Wayne, Elaine & Laurel Hotelling, James & Marcia Merrins, Alona Forbes, Peter D. Clark, and Kathy & Peter George.

All community members are encouraged to submit a nomination for the committee’s consideration. To submit a nomination by mail, call our office to have a form sent to you (716-366-4892) or download the from our website www.nccfoundation.org/footprints-award. Nominations can also be submitted electronically through the website. Nominations are due to NCCF by March 25, via mail at 212 Lake Shore Drive W., Dunkirk, NY 14048, by fax to 716-366-3905 or e-mail nccf@nccfoundation.org.
