Do you know a New Jersey citizen who is an unsung hero?

We are seeking nominations for the 13th Annual Russ Berrie Award for Making a Difference

The goals are to recognize those "unsung heroes" who have made a significant difference to the well-being of society and for whom the award would make a significant difference in their own lives, and to publicize good works in society.
