The Edgar Awards in Human Services are the first awards event to recognize outstanding and remarkable individuals in the field of human services, and those who support human services in New Mexico. They are named after Edgar Helms, founder of Goodwill Industries in 1902 in Boston. It is his leadership and philosophy of caring for the needs of all humanity that drives our mission and our programming.
Each honoree is celebrated at a dinner presented at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Albuquerque, with proceeds from the dinner and accompanying silent auction benefiting Goodwill’s programs and services. Each honoree receives a unique award created by a New Mexico artist. The evening is hosted by News Anchor Nicole Brady and features a special guest speaker.
Make plans to join us on March 27, 2010!
