Light a Fire Awards

For over a decade our Light a Fire awards have honored the special people in our community who go above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of others. They are the unsung champions of giving who see a need, roll up their sleeves and get to work.

Nominations are now open for 2026! Click here to nominate someone.
