NRCA and CNA seek entries for Community Involvement Award

CNA and NRCA are working together to honor charitable works by NRCA contractor members through the CNA/NRCA Community Involvement Award.

Contractors are encouraged to submit any charitable project, activity or donation completed between Jan. 1, 2018, and Dec. 31, 2018, for a chance to win up to $7,500 for your charity.

Four winning charities will be selected. The first-place winner will receive $7,500; second place winner will receive $5,000; third place winner will receive $2,500; and People's Choice winner will receive $1,500. The awards will be presented at NRCA's Industry Awards Ceremony and Cocktail Reception during NRCA's 132nd Annual Convention in Nashville, Tenn.

Submissions should include an in-depth description of the charitable work, testimonial from the receiving charity and any supporting material (photos, videos, press clippings, etc.). A panel of judges from CNA and NRCA will determine the first, second and third place winners. The winner of the People's Choice award will be selected by the public via online voting.

Each entry should contain the following:

• An entry form
• An in-depth description of the charitable work performed (a minimum 100-word description is required)
• A testimonial from the receiving charity explaining how the donation helped its operations
• Other relevant supporting materials, including photos, videos, press clippings, etc.

If submitting by mail, complete the entry form and include it with your entry package. All mailed entry packages must contain the same supporting material as electronic submissions and must be received by Dec. 31. Please do not staple entry materials.

If you have questions, contact Ambika Reid, NRCA's vice president of communications and production, at (800) 323-9545, ext. 7555 or areid@nrca.net.
