SCHUYLKILL PRIDE  "...a tremendous opportunity to honor the many people who play a quiet  but important role in improving the quality of life for people in Schuylkill County."  U. S. Congressman Tim Holden,  6th District, Pennsylvania

The Schuylkill Pride Award recognizes Schuylkill County citizens who have exemplified county pride and involvement through unselfish acts, volunteerism, positive actions and/or great ideas which benefit county residents.

Currently under the direction of the Schuylkill Leadership Association, this quarterly award strives to improve the attitude among Schuylkill County citizens by publicly recognizing recipients. This worthy program, stemming from a class project of the 1996 Schuylkill Leadership class, helps to promote a positive image of the county for its citizens as well as for neighboring communities.

Past award recipients include:

• A young resident who rescued two people from a burning car
• A founder of community services and publisher of health education material
• A retired businessman dedicated to community development, tourism and youth
• A lifelong volunteer coach and mentor of our youth
