“We often see the positive impact nonprofits have on our community, but we forget there are people behind that impact. People who have dedicated their time, talents, and hard work to fulfilling a need. The Touching Lives Award allows us to appreciate and share those people’s stories and - hopefully - inspire others to do good in the world.” - Sarah Lynn, Chair of the Frederick Nonprofit Alliance
