Center for Courageous Kids recognized during awards ceremony in DC
WASHINGTON – The Center for Courageous Kids has been announced as one of the award winners of the 2024 .ORG Impact Awards.
According to a release by Public Interest Registry, the awards ceremony is an annual celebration that recognizes “mission-driven individuals and organizations” around the globe for what they have contributed to society.
CCK is a local nonprofit located in Scottsville serving as a medical camping facility founded by the late Betty Turner, offering a space where children living with life threatening illnesses and their families can go for free.
“We are thrilled to be the 2024 recipient of the .ORG Impact Award for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion! Being selected as one of the 35 finalists out of 1,700 applicants was an honor in itself, but winning in our category is truly incredible. This achievement is a testament to our founder, Ms. Betty, and her vision of creating a space where every child feels loved, respected, and free to simply be a kid. This award belongs to everyone who believes in CCK and the positive impact we have on the children we serve,” says CCK’s director of development, Jill Isom, who attended the awards ceremony on Tuesday.
CCK was chosen as one of the seven winners after over 1,700 applicants from more than 87 countries, according to a release.
CCK’s award was announced live at a Washington, D.C. awards ceremony, which took place at the International Spy Museum.
With an award donation of $10,000, the release says CCK will be able to continue its camp for every child no matter their disability or medical condition free of cost.
“The winners of the .ORG Impact Awards are the very best of the .ORG Community and work tirelessly to create positive change every day. Public Interest Registry is thrilled to uplift their efforts and humbled by the work they are doing to build a bright future for us all,” said Jon Nevett, president and CEO of Public Interest Registry.
