Children’s Law Center of Minnesota is now accepting nominations for the 2026 Heroes for Children Award, which recognizes an individual who has made significant contributions to the well-being of Minnesota’s children through their career or volunteer service.
Do you know someone who truly makes a difference in the lives of young people? Nominees may work with children in any field, including education, health care, legislation, advocacy, mentoring, community leadership, or other areas that support the physical, emotional, social, or spiritual well-being of Minnesota’s children.
The selected honoree will be recognized at CLC’s 31st Anniversary Celebration of Champions Benefit on September 24, 2026, at the Hollywood Theater in Minneapolis.
Nominations should include contact information for both the nominee and the nominator, along with a one- to three-page narrative describing how the nominee has made a meaningful difference for children in Minnesota. Please include specific examples whenever possible.
Please submit nominations by Friday, July 17, 2026, to info@clcmn.org.
Help us celebrate the people who go above and beyond for Minnesota’s children.
