Every child needs a champion, and each year First 5 Riverside County (F5RC) recognizes the difference-makers in our children’s lives. The annual F5RC Champion for Children Award is now open for nominations for individuals and organizations dedicated to the crucial and rewarding work supporting young children and their families. The winner will be recognized broadly and by the F5RC Commission. To celebrate their award, the selected Champion will be granted a $1,000 sponsorship in support of a community event of their choice. Nominations are due by Wednesday, February 19.

The next Champion for Children will be approved by the F5RC Commission in May and formally recognized in July. Nominees must have lived and/or worked within Riverside County for at least two years. The recipient selected will have achievements that align with F5RC strategic goals, including quality early learning, comprehensive health and development, and resilient families.
