Over the last two decades, the Mary Catherine Strobel Volunteer Awards have grown to become Middle Tennessee’s largest, annual luncheon that recognizes individuals and groups who have selflessly given their time and talent to improve their community.

The luncheon will be held on April 6 at the Franklin Marriott Hotel Cool Springs Conference Center. Tickets for the event are just $35 per person and a table of 10 can be purchased for $350. This luncheon provides an excellent opportunity for you to show appreciation to your volunteers without having to do all the planning. Consider treating your star volunteers to a memorable and inspiring event given in their honor.

Now is the time to nominate your volunteers - individuals and/or groups - for the distinguished Mary Catherine Strobel Volunteer Awards. This year we have updated several of the categories to better represent the commitment and extraordinary service of your volunteers. Also, we are pleased to announce a new category - Corporate Service Project – to recognize volunteer projects developed and/or completed by corporate business groups.

Deserving volunteers may be nominated by any community member or staff person within a school, park, business, faith-based organization, government entity or 501(c)(3) designated nonprofit agency may nominate a deserving volunteer. Volunteers at for-profit hospitals or hospices are also eligible for nomination. Nominees should be currently active volunteers with their nominating agency. Year after year, volunteers say that they feel incredibly honored just to be nominated for these awards.
