WHO CAN SUBMIT A NOMINATION?
The short answer is basically, anyone. Historically we have received nominations from individuals, civic groups, various shelters, houses of worship, and even self-nominations are accepted.
HOW ARE FAMILIES CHOSEN
A dedicated "selection committee" reviews all submitted nominations to verify eligibility and that the nominee meets the specific criteria.
