ith this award, we honor local leaders who have been deeply committed to bringing lasting value and opportunities for youth and families in their time of need.
Be Strong International is committed to moving individuals and families from brokenness to wholeness through educational and enrichment resources. The goal is not only to change these people’s lives, but to also impact the communities in which they reside. This ambitious objective takes civic, business and community leaders who intrinsically care and are willing to take proactive steps toward this end goal.
Be Strong International’s “Stronger Together Award” is our way of highlighting these individuals.
We are truly grateful for the recipients of this award, who have gone above and beyond to help improve the outlook for broken families in our community, especially during the pandemic.
