Youth Hero and Good Deed Award – Nominate a worthy young person in your area for leadership or an act of valor. Form is fillable and goes directly to the National Committee. See more information on the Youth Hero Award page.
Greeting’s Auxiliary Members,
Remember to keep an eye out for youth in our state doing incredible things! We would love to show our appreciation by nominating them for an award.
We have two categories:
• GOOD DEED AWARD – Youth should demonstrate a leadership role in the community.
• YOUTH HERO AWARD – Youth has demonstrated a physical act of valor.
Nominate these exceptional youth at: www.alaforveterans.org. In the menu, simply click on HOW WE SERVE for more information on how to complete your nomination. You may also visit the nomination webpage at: www.legion-aux.org/youth-hero-good-deed-awards
I also encourage each of you to invite a fellow Auxiliary member to join us at Department Convention. Let’s have a great turnout in Fargo! See you there!
