The United Way of the Bradford Area is hosting its annual Red Feather and Report to the Community event at 6 p.m. on Feb. 28 at the Bradford Club.
The Red Feather recognition is to honor a volunteer who is truly passionate about the United Way and the work the agency does year after year. An award is also given to a funded agency that shares the United Way’s mission within their own organization with the Excellence in Representation award.
This year the Red Feather awardee is Jim Wiseman. He is the executive director of Beacon Light Adult Residential Services, he is passionate about the work he does and the individuals he serves. He has been involved with the United Way of the Bradford Area as a board member for the last 10 years and continues to be an active volunteer.
Receiving the Excellence in Representation award is Debbie Price with Evergreen Elm. Since 2013, Price has served as the CEO at Evergreen Elm Inc. She also has a long history with the United Way. Her involvement with the Bradford Area United Way began in 1988 but she has also served the United Ways of Beaver, Warren and Allegany County.
The event is open to the public but space is limited. Be sure to RSVP before Feb. 10 by calling the United Way office at 814-368-6181 or email at paige.labrozzi@uwbanews.org.
