Submitted by The Bedford Chamber of Commerce and Bedford Youth and Family Services
Bedford Chamber of Commerce (BCOC) and Bedford Youth & Family Services (BYFS) are pleased to announce the second “Ray of Hope” award. The RAY of Hope Award (Recognize AYouth), is designed to identify high school age young people who have performed outstanding service to the Bedford community and/or who by their actions are excellent role models for their peers. Modeled after a similar program in Needham, the RAY of Hope Program is a recognition that young people and their development are of critical importance to the functioning of the Bedford community and our collective futures.
Annually the BCOC will recognize one outstanding young person or group, coordinate a gift from the BCOC, and will work with the local press to inform the larger community of the achievements. BCOC and BYFS will accept nominations at any time from local businesses, schools, religious or civic groups, or individuals, for high school age youth who are deserving of recognition.
To nominate a young person please fill out the application form available from either the BCOC or BYFS or download it from the BCOC website www.bedfordchamber.org and mail to Bedford Chamber of Commerce, ATTN: Ray of Hope, 12 Mudge Way, Bedford, MA 01730. The form can also be faxed to 781-275-7767 or emailed to [email protected]
Nominations must be submitted by Febraury 1st and will be reviewed by representatives from BCOC and BYFS, and the youth with the most compelling service accomplishments will be selected and honored at the BCOC Annual Dinner.
For questions about the award or the process please contact BCOC Executive Director Maureen Sullivan at 781-275-8503 or BYFS Director Sue Baldauf at 781-275-7727.
