You are cordially invited to the
Governor’s Volunteer Service &
Key Volunteer of the Year Recognition Ceremony
Wednesday, June 11th, 2025
at the Durham Performing Arts Center
123 Vivian Street Durham, NC 27701
2 pm – 4 pm
We are excited to celebrate each nominee, all of whom will be recognized and presented with a certificate of appreciation. Additionally, top honorees in each nomination category will receive a commemorative statuette.
Tickets are $18 per person. We are waiving the fee for the nominee(s) and for anyone under the age of 18. Everyone MUST register for the event so we can have an accurate accounting of how many seats we need to reserve. Tickets may be purchased and reserved at the following link: https://bit.ly/voyawards
All guests are welcome and encouraged to attend.
While we have traditionally hosted this event as a luncheon, this year’s celebration will be a more simplified ceremony, graciously hosted by the Durham Performing Arts Center. In response to your feedback about last year’s $50 ticket price—and with this year’s costs projected to reach $60—we’ve chosen to simplify the event format to keep it more affordable and accessible for all.
The ceremony will feature a welcome address, the presentation of certificates to all nominees, and special recognition for our Volunteers of the Year. Awards will be distributed by distinguished State government officials.
Business professional attire is requested.
We look forward to celebrating with you on June 11. If you have any questions, please contact Hannah Davis at (919) 321-6943 or hannah@thevolunteercenter.org.
