9/21/2022    2022 Philanthropist of the Year: What's Your Why
2022 Philanthropists of the Year: What’s Your Why, taking place on Wednesday, September 21, 2022, at Martin’s Westminster, 5-7 PM. Join Carroll County business and community leaders in honoring those whose philanthropic efforts make our community a better place every day. After a brief hiatus, we feel the time is right to bring back one of Carroll County’s most anticipated events and recognize the passion for community, dedication to service, and vision for the future this year's honorees possess.

All proceeds from this event support the Audrey Cimino Legacy Fund of the Community Foundation, which allows us to ensure the sustainability of our community foundation for years to come.

Your sponsorship of the 2022 Philanthropists of the Year: What's Your Why allows us to honor the work of our Funds and supporters while defraying the cost of the event for attendees. We will be recognizing our sponsors in a variety of ways both ahead of and at the event.

Purchase tickets and become a sponsor online.

There is no other event where business and civic leaders gather to pay tribute to those who make a difference in our community. This year’s honorees, our 14th year, have all made a significant, positive impact throughout Carroll County with their generosity and commitment. I hope you will consider supporting this richly deserved celebration.
