The Alliance for Health Equity Now Accepting Nominations for 2022 Eastburn Community Service Award

By

community service award

Do you know someone who has gone above and beyond to uplift their neighbors and community during the pandemic and/or Hurricane Ida?

Community members are encouraged to nominate a deserving Chester County resident to receive the Eastburn Community Service Award, presented each year in memory of Jane and Al Eastburn, both of whom served the Coatesville area as nonprofit leaders. The Eastburn Community Service Award is given to an individual who has and/or still gives back to the Coatesville community, making a positive difference with their time, energy, and expertise.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic and Hurricane Ida, communities everywhere have seen extraordinary medical professionals, first responders, volunteers, community leaders, local business owners and employees, essential workers, and everyday people who have been working tirelessly to make a difference. Thousands in our local community are dealing with an immeasurable level of suffering and massive disruption to their daily lives.

This year’s focus of the Eastburn Community Service Award highlights a local hero who has gone above and beyond during the pandemic and/or in the wake of Hurricane Ida.

Priority will be given to those who:

  • serve on the front lines as a first responder (healthcare professional, law enforcement officers, paramedics, fire and EMT personnel, 911 communication operator, etc.)
  • provide innovative support during the ongoing COVID-19 and/or Hurricane Ida crisis
  • help/support nonprofits in the Coatesville community
  • volunteer their time and talents in the Coatesville area
  • serve as mentors to help develop future volunteer leaders for the community
  • have a consistently positive outlook on the future of the Coatesville community
  • and persevere through challenges and setbacks

Recipients will have the opportunity to designate a nonprofit(s) serving the Coatesville area to receive a $2,500 grant in their honor.

With the encouragement and initial funding of Dallas Krapf and the Krapf Bus Co., the Eastburn Community Service Award was established in 2016 by The Alliance for Health Equity’s board of directors.

Please nominate a local hero by sending a one-page letter/PDF attachment to the attention of Alyssa Kotzmann at akotzmann@alliancehealthequity.org by March 25.
