The “WOW” Award

Sponsored by 92.7 WMAY

The “WOW” Award, sponsored by 92.7 WMAY, is our opportunity to recognize those unsung heroes that lift our spirits and inspire us through their simple or extraordinary acts of kindness or superior customer service.

By recognizing those who make a difference in our lives, we are challenged to think about how we can do the same for others. It’s often not even what we do, but how we do it. Together, one personal encounter at time, we can make our Springfield a happier place to be. A place where people feel respected, included, and welcomed.

If you know a community member who deserves to be recognized for their extraordinary act of kindness or superior customer service, please take a few moments to nominate them today!
