The following announcement was provided by the World in Watertown:
Presented by World in Watertown, the UNITY AWARD is given each year at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Unity Breakfast to recognize individuals or groups who are making significant contributions to civic life in Watertown.
Who in Watertown is putting Dr. King’s vision into action? Nominate them for the Unity Award!
Perhaps your hero is an individual, or a group who have worked hard to make our community more welcoming and inclusive, who demonstrate a commitment to the foundational principles of racial, social, and economic justice, and who strive to achieve fair and equal treatment for all who live or work in Watertown?
If you know of a person or a group who might fit this description, now is the time to recognize and thank them for their work! We seek to honor unsung heroes who are quietly making extraordinary contributions to our community. Past recipients include teachers and youth workers, as well as folks who support newly-arrived refugees, address issues of food insecurity, promote peace and improved cross-cultural relationships, foster racial understanding, and so much more.
Please go to either of the following links to submit your nomination. worldinwatertown.org (Unity Breakfast tab) or unitybreakfast.org
NOMINATIONS ARE DUE BY NOVEMBER 30, 2025.
