Action on Behalf of Children Awards

The Action on Behalf of Children (ABC) Awards are presented in special recognition to those who care about children in San Joaquin County. Created in 1988 by Joan Richards, founder of Family Resource and Referral Center, and several community members, the awards recognize those outstanding individual child care providers, elected officials, businesses, and media in the community that are doing more than just ‘the average’ for children.

Nominations for the 21st Annual ABC Awards

must be submitted by Monday, September 8.

To nominate an individual, group, or organization that has contributed time, energy, or support to children and family services in San Joaquin County, simply complete an ABC Nomination Form online, download the form, or contact Diane Kramer at (209) 461-2915 or 1-800-526-1555, ext. 2915.  The nomination of people and groups whose actions have quietly made a difference in the community is encouraged.
