A Friend of the NYCHA Award
"Some people want it to happen, some wish it to happen, and others make it happen." - Unknown

The Friend of the NYCHA Award is a recognition program for donors and supporters of the NYCHA who have made a significant financial or personal contribution to NYCHA.

There have been many people who have played an important role in the continued growth and success of the youth association; the creation of the Friend of the NYCHA Award will provide much-deserved recognition to those individuals and NCHA corporate sponsors who have "made it happen" year after year. The award will be given annually during the NYCHA awards banquet to youth supporters who have exhibited a long-term commitment to the success of the youth program. If you would like to nominate someone who has made a significant contribution at the national level - either financially or through personal effort - please send a written nomination (a brief summary of the nominee's contributions) to NCHA no later than June 1st each year. For more information, please contact the NCHA Youth Department.

The honoree must contribute to NYCHA at a national level that potentially benefits all youth members.

Examples of potential honorees:
Scholarship Donor
Long-time stallion donor
NCHA Corporate Sponsor
Youth Committee members
Trainers who works with a large number of youth members
Show secretaries that make a significant contribution to the youth activities
NCHA Executive Committee Members

Nominations must be made in writing and received in the NCHA office by June 1st each year. The nomination should include a brief summary of the nominee's contribution, changes implemented, and/or results achieved
