Great human who allowed our program to form. Thank you, Tom and again congratulations!

We are thrilled to award this year's Cathy Strickler 'Good Trouble' Award to Tom Benevento!

"Tom has been an inspiration to countless people in our community and has been persistent at creatively making our community a better place. His spirit is quiet and gentle, yet incredibly forceful. Tom does not back down from doing what is right. Through his engagement in our community in the last 20 years, Tom has been extremely effective at identifying needs in our community, building relationships, being strategic, and getting (stuff) done.

Tom lives out the future that he wants to see in the world and inspires all of us who are willing to open our hearts to his example.“
