2009 Bay Area Community Heroe Award
Each year, Crissy Field Center recognizes the important work of four Bay Area individuals or groups whose actions have made a positive impact on the environment with it’s Community Heroes Award. This multi-media exhibit features life-size displays of each honoree and inspiring digital inspiring stories of how one individual or grassroots group can bring about lasting change in the community.
Who are Community Heroes?
Community heroes are people from all over the Bay Area and from all walks of life. They come from all races, ethnic backgrounds and age groups, working in common to protect, restore, and raise awareness for the environmental issues that are relevant to their communities. Many are engaged in grass-roots activism, others work on legislation, and several are educators. Many call themselves volunteers, while others have built careers working in the environmental movement.
This past May, four groups and indiduals were presented the 2009 Crissy Field Center Community Hero Award. Whatever their approach, methodology, or position, they all fit one very important criterion: their work has made a positive impact on the community and has inspired others to get involved and make a difference.
