On Thursday, February 23, SOAR365 hosted its annual Awards Banquet (in person!) where we celebrated those individuals, teams, and community partners who went above and beyond for SOAR365. The award recipients are nominated by their peers and the nominations really speak to how dedicated the winners are to our mission.
It was a fun and joyful evening at ACCA Shriners’ Center in Northside Richmond. Former AVP of Major Gifts, Mike Foley, joined to emcee the event and dinner was provided by Maggiano’s Little Italy.
Here is a highlight video from the awards ceremony:
