For the past 11 years, Shore Publishing/Zip06.com has had the privilege of turning a spotlight onto 165 remarkable members of the shoreline community who all share a common trait: heart. Their love for their communities is seemingly limitless as they offer their time, talents, and compassion to make our corner of the world a better place. Now, as we prepare for the 12th annual Beacon Awards, we’re excited to celebrate the next 15 Beacon Award honorees.
Beacon Award winners are a unique group. They’re thoughtful and committed, and we’re incredibly fortunate to witness their selfless acts. These extraordinary people have helped shape our shoreline, making our communities the wonderful places we know and love. It’s our great pleasure to honor and celebrate these individuals each year at the Beacon Awards Gala.
We are extremely grateful to each past Beacon winner for making our communities incredible places to live, work, and play. As we salute our past winners, our hats also go off to the numerous businesses that have sponsored our Beacon Awards. Without their support, the Beacon Awards would not be possible.
As we prepare for the 2024 awards season, we can’t wait to receive your nominations. As the eyes and ears of our community, you are vital in helping us identify the special people who continue to go above and beyond. Please visit www.beaconawardsct.com and click on “Nominate” at the top of the page to submit your candidates for the 12th annual Beacon Awards. What remarkable people impact your life?
