How It Works

If you have an "Irene" in your organization, tell us about her - or him - in 500 words or less. He or she must be at least 16 years old with a demonstrated commitment to serving your non-profit organization through volunteer activities which must include (but may not be limited to) fundraising through product sales. All nominees will be listed on the AFRDS web site (www.afrds.org). In addition, one volunteer will be selected (by a panel of AFRDS members) and recognized with: 1) a special profile on the AFRDS web site which will include excerpts from the written nomination; and 2) a special certificate along with a $1000 check made payable to the school or non-profit organization served by the nominee.

• the name of the individual that you are nominating;
