Gold Key Service Awards

The Gold Key Service Award recognizes individuals who have continually demonstrated the highest degree of personal dedication and service to our Bold Goals in the areas of health, education and financial stability.

DeHoff Emerging Philanthropist of Stark County Award

The DeHoff Emerging Philanthropist award recognizes a Stark County resident age 45 and under who impacts Stark County through direct service and volunteer work in the areas of health, education and financial stability.

Bob and Linda DeHoff established the award in 2010, after serving as Alexis de Tocqueville Society co-chairs for more than a decade and leading efforts to raise more than $11.6 million to benefit residents of Greater Stark County.

The DeHoff award recipient receives $5,000 to be donated to a health and human services 501(c)(3) non-profit organization of their choice.
