The Spirit of Crescent Hill Award was founded in 1998, by Crescent Hill resident and former Crescent Hill Community Council president, Richard Jett, pictured below on the left. Also featured in the photo are former mayor Jerry Abramson and one of the first recipients, Victory Bisig, affectionately known as the Mayor of South Galt Avenue. The Spirit of Crescent Hill Award was created to honor outstanding acts of community spirit in the neighborhood. Crescent Hill is blessed to have many wonderful people who love her and are willing to selflessly give their time and talents to make her one of the best places to live in the city. Businesses and institutions as well as individuals have been recipients of the Spirit of Crescent Hill Award. Those honored may be long time members of Crescent Hill, individuals, living or deceased, who have been instrumental in shaping the Crescent Hill Community Council and Peterson Dumesnil House Foundation or a newcomer who has jumped right in and gone to work making Crescent Hill the special place it is.
Now is the perfect time to keep an eye out for folks that make a difference in Crescent Hill. Do you know a person, business or institution working to make Crescent Hill fabulous? If so, the committee, Steve Imhoff, Tim Allen, Michele Hundley, Terry Dunham, and Joyce Cossavella, would like to hear from you. Please contact the committee chair Joyce Cossavella at [email protected] with your suggestions and include a short paragraph as to why you are making the nomination. Awards are presented at the annual Dessert with the Mayor event scheduled each fall.
