Announcing the Hilary Zunin CanDo Spirit and Service Awards

We are thrilled to share that Napa Valley CanDo will be presenting a new award at this year’s Give! Guide Kickoff Party: the Hilary Zunin CanDo Service Award, alongside the Hilary Zunin CanDo Spirit Award.

The CanDo Spirit Award honors the energy and promise of emerging nonprofit leaders under 35, while the new Service Award recognizes the wisdom, perseverance, and lasting impact of volunteers over 35 who continue to serve our community year after year.

Like Hilary Zunin-whose vision, compassion, and leadership inspired countless acts of service-recipients of these awards exemplify how one person’s dedication can strengthen the fabric of our community. Together, these honors celebrate Hilary’s legacy across generations.

How to Nominate

Each award requires two applications: one from the nominator and one from the nominee. To submit a nomination, select the appropriate link below. They both must be submitted by Friday, October 3rd.

These awards are open to any nonprofit in the Napa Valley-participation in CanDo’s Give!Guide is not required.
