About the Phoenix Awards

The Phoenix, a mythical bird, when it feels it's life is at an end, builds a nest, sets it on
fire and is consumed by the flames.  From the ashes, a new Phoenix springs forth to
live again.  Like the Phoenix, the abused woman must rise from the ashes of an
abusive relationship to find life again.  

The Phoenix Award is presented to various unsung heroes within our community who
have endeavored to work to change the consuming effects of domestic violence.  

Nominees for the award can include a person, group or organization.  Click

the 2007 nomination form.  Please have nominations in by September 21, 2007.  A
ceremony will be held on Wednesday, October 24th.
