Humanitarian Awards

Each year since 1970, OneJax hosts a Humanitarian Awards Event to honor outstanding individuals who have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to our community.

Anyone in the community may submit a nomination for someone to be selected as a OneJax Humanitarian. Self-nominations are also considered. Nominations are accepted during the month of September each year.

Once the nomination period closes, a selection committee made up of members of the OneJax Executive Committee and previous Humanitarians evaluate the nominations and make the final selection. The Humanitarian Awards is the largest fundraiser OneJax holds during the year. This notable event includes a formal ceremony to recognize the new group of Honorees each year.
