Do you know an incredible kid who’s doing awesome things in Sarasota-Manatee?

Have they overcome a daunting challenge? Reached an impressive milestone? Made a difference in the community? Each month, we’ll ask you to nominate a local kid who’s made their mark. We’ve partnered with the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, Catalist Realty and Easterseals to create a platform for parents, grandparents, teachers and friends to brag about the amazing young people in their lives.

Winners and their impressive achievements will be recognized on our award-winning website and social media channels and the Community Foundation of Sarasota County will donate a grant in the child’s name to the local nonprofit of their choice.

Nominations will be accepted the first 15 days of the month. Open to all kids ages 5-15. A panel of judges will choose the winner and we’ll announce the last week of the month.
