Love of Bonita

Each year, the BSCF honors a local resident through the Love of Bonita Award. Recipients of this award are chosen based on the following criteria: they consistently choose to use their time, energy and/or, finances to make a difference in the lives of people living within the Bonita Springs community; they actively encourage and perform community service to help improve the quality of life in the Bonita Springs area; and they enthusiastically promote empowerment, self-sufficiency, and positive change in others, either as volunteers or as employees of community organizations.

Past Love of Bonita Award recipients are Don Thomson, Audrey Georges, Ira Hawk, Hank Hochstetler, the late Pat Lord, Jacqueline “Jacke” McCurdy, Richard “Dick” Miller, Donna Roberts, Marjorie Rubacky, David Short, and David and Sarah Zimmermann.

Love of Bonita Award nominations are solicited from the public just after the first of the year. At that time, this website will post the official award nomination form and instructions for nominating a resident of Bonita Springs.
