SPECIAL REPORT
Celebrating Volunteerism
April 18, 2007
Capitol Building, Lansing
Celebrating Volunteerism 2007 took place on Wednesday, April 18th, from 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. at the Michigan Capitol Building in Lansing. The program included highlights of remarkable volunteer stories, as well as the presentation of the Michigan Volunteer Champion Awards.
The Michigan Volunteer Champion Awards are designed to recognize the lifelong and/or exemplary support of service, volunteerism and civic engagement by Michigan policy makers in the legislative, executive or judicial branches of state government. Awardees are selected based on their record of service and proven results in support of Michigan’s volunteers.
Celebrating Volunteerism 2007 attracted over 150 volunteers from around the state who came together to celebrate the impact of volunteerism on our state and communities.
Serve Michigan thanks the Association of Independent Colleges & Universities of Michigan, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Comcast, Consumers Energy Foundation, Council of Michigan Foundations, Michigan Health Council, and Strategic Solutions for their generous sponsorship and support of Celebrating Volunteerism.
