TCWF Lauds 10 Years of Leaders Who Have Received the California Peace Prize
 |
"Leadership is at the heart of the California Peace Prize. Over the past decade, we have identified dozens of outstanding leaders making a difference in their communities." |
or
the past 10 years, The California Wellness Foundation (TCWF) has
recognized leaders in violence prevention with the California Peace Prize
(CPP). Each year, three honorees receive the award, which includes a cash
grant of $25,000 in recognition of their tireless efforts to improve the
health of their communities by addressing the root causes of violence.
Since its inception, 30 remarkable Californians have been recognized with
the CPP. "Leadership is at the heart of the California Peace Prize," said
Gary Yates, TCWF president and CEO. "Over the past decade, we have
identified dozens of outstanding leaders making a difference in their
communities."
With the CPP recognition, TCWF seeks to reenergize the commitment of these violence prevention leaders and to draw attention to the exemplary qualities that make them stand out. Equally important, these awards encourage Californians to think of violence as a preventable public health issue - one where individuals can and do make a difference by serving their communities and advancing important policy changes that improve the health of communities across the state.
