Is there someone in your community who consistently goes above and beyond to make a difference? Perhaps they’ve poured their time and energy into helping a local nonprofit thrive, assisted those in need or spearheaded a community project that has made life better for everyone. If someone comes to mind, now is your chance to recognize their remarkable service and help support their cause or organization.
Lake Country Power is proud to partner with Minnesota’s Touchstone Energy® Cooperatives in sponsoring the Cooperative Heroes Award. Minnesota is served by 44 distribution cooperatives, covering 85% of Minnesota and reaching every county in the state.
The heroes award provides an opportunity for co-op members, employees and directors to nominate an individual who has made meaningful contributions and positive impacts in their community. The nominee does not need to be a co-op member.
Cooperative Heroes Award celebrates Minnesota’s cooperative values – integrity, innovation, reliability, accountability, and commitment to community. Judges will carefully evaluate each application and nominee for these qualities as they select three outstanding winners within the State of Minnesota.
Each winner will receive funding to support a local nonprofit or good cause of their choice. First place receives $1,000; second and third place receive $500 each.
Nominations are open from October 1 through November 15, with a short application available online at www.mrea.org/programs/touchstone-energy. Winners will be announced in January.
