Be the Difference Awards

2020 Be the Difference Awards Watch Party Celebration | Weds Oct. 21st @ 12 PM

Recognizing the Top 50 People, Groups, and Businesses who do the most to transform Santa Cruz County through volunteerism.

Each year we reach out, asking you to share your extraordinary stories of volunteers, businesses, and non-profits who make our community a happier, healthier place to live through volunteerism and this year was no different. We are so excited to once again celebrate your chosen nominees.

While we won't gather in person, we invite you to join us for the Watch Party Premiere of the 2020 Be the Difference Awards on Oct 21. Watch for link details coming soon.

We promise a fabulous hour of entertainment and inspiration in celebration of our top 50 nominees. You will be in the online company of local leaders, athletes, musicians and trailblazers for good. You'll be able to watch HERE, on YouTube, or on Facebook.
