KidsFirst Cooperman-Bogue Awards
Nominations are now being accepted for exemplary social service frontline staff who have consistently put children and families first during the pandemic.
As part of the redesign, we have increased from four (4) quarterly winners to twelve (12) monthly winners, and no annual award winner will be named this year. Should an annual awards ceremony be held, all monthly winners will be recognized and their work spotlighted at the event.
