It is award season, and we were excited to attend both the Grapevine Chamber Community awards which were held on the 27th at the Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center and the Metroport awards which were held at the Texas Motor Speedway. Both events recognize companies, nonprofits, and individuals and celebrate volunteerism and citizenship throughout the community. It also shows that you’re never too old, or too young to give back to your community, whether through volunteerism, or through your generous donations.
Here at GRACE, we strive to be good Stewarts of the community. Giving back to the community and raising awareness of community involvement is a key factor in the GRACE community. Shonda Schaefer and Christina Cates are the few members of the GRACE community to be nominated for awards for their ability to put the needs of the community first, and for that we applaud them for going above and beyond for the community that needs them.
Here are the Grapevine Chamber awards for 2022, winners are in bold.
