Established in honor of the Foundation’s co-founder Helen LaKelly Hunt, the award recognizes committed involvement in neighborhood-based work on behalf of women and girls over a substantial period of time. The Neighborhood Leader is a risk taker and a trailblazer, with a love of life, a sense of proportion, and a sense of humor. |
