11 Alive Community Service Award

Each year for more than 30 years, the 11Alive’s Community Service Awards (CSA) has honored 11 outstanding local volunteers who have demonstrated selfless devotion for the betterment of the community.

Atlanta Falcons Defensive End Patrick Kerney and Mrs. Stephanie Blank will co-host the event, which will air during prime-time on WXIA-TV, 11 Alive.
Each year the Community Service Awards dinner proceeds benefit a selected charity. This year, the proceeds will benefit Special Olympics Georgia. You can help us recognize the outstanding service of the 11Alive Community Service Awards recipients and support the important work of Special Olympics Georgia by participating as a table sponsor.
There are two levels of support. Sponsor a Host Table for $2,500 or a Silver Host Table for $5,000. While both table sponsorships entitle you to a table for ten guests, the Silver Host Table includes prominent placement in the ballroom.
For additional information or reservations, please contact Amy Holloway at 404.892.1611, or go to http://www.11alive.com/life/community/csa/
