Background
Genesis presents the Genesis Humanitarian Award every two years at the Erev Thanksgiving Service.
The Genesis Humanitarian Award promotes recognition of people and organizations whose actions exemplify the Genesis vision and spirit, that by embracing mutual trust, respect and appreciation of all people, and living the ideals of faith and inclusiveness, together we work to heal a broken world.
Over the years, some among us have stood out by devoting countless hours toward improving the Genesis relationships with which we are now blessed. Still others among us are deeply involved in a wide variety of social justice activities (homelessness, rotating shelter, refugee support) or are tireless volunteers at community service organizations. Out of the many worthy individuals in our congregations, we seek to recognize one who inspires us all for the future.
In the past, the Genesis Humanitarian Award has been presented to the Josh Whinston (2022), Christine Modey (2020), JFS Refugee Services (2018), Back Door Food Pantry (2017), Bob Milstein (2017), and Irene Butter (2012), Richard Bailey (2010), James Schairbaum (2007), Judge Sandy Elden (2005), Phil Bowen (2003), Jackie Moore (2001), Bob Levy (1999), and Doug Evett (1997).
