2024 Unsung Heroes Celebration

Since 2001, the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys has been hosting an annual event to recognize the service of volunteers.  Monroe County 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations are invited to nominate one Unsung Hero to recognize that individual’s unpaid contributions over the past year.  Each Unsung Hero will be presented with a certificate of appreciation at our celebratory luncheon and be recognized in all three editions of the Keys Weekly.

Your Unsung Hero and one organization representative are invited to attend the event as our complimentary guests. If your Unsung Hero is not present at the luncheon on February 2, your organization will not be recognized so it is best for you to confirm in advance their availability to participate. Additionally, they will be asked to attend a portrait session held in each area of the Keys in early January.

Thank you for registering your Unsung Hero for the annual celebration. If you would like to purchase additional tickets to the event, please click on the button to the left.

Tickets are sold first come first served due to the limited seating capacity in the Marriott ballroom.

Watch the 2021 Unsung Heroes Virtual Celebration of our community’s volunteers of the year, plus special guests and surprises! Special thanks to our event sponsor, the Lower Keys Medical Center.

The 21st annual Unsung Heroes event recognized the tremendous efforts of our community’s volunteers. The virtual celebration was sponsored by the Lower Keys Medical Center and promoted civic engagement in the Keys. Thanks also to Keys Weekly for their partnership with this year’s publication. We also appreciate the generosity of Ocean Wellness Spa, which donated $2,000 in gift certificates for spa services to this year’s Unsung Heroes.

David Clay, CEO of Lower Keys Medical Center, said, “The not-for-profit organizations and their volunteers being recognized are so vital to the health and well-being of our communities, providing food, shelter, financial assistance and health and human services to our residents in need. The Unsung Heroes event is our chance to celebrate the giving nature of the Keys and the people who work tirelessly to help their neighbors.”
