3rd Annual Love Akron Awards Breakfast
The Love Akron Network, a broad coalition of professional
clergy and Christian leaders in both the public and private sectors, will be hosting
their third annual awards event at the John S. Knight Center in downtown Akron. The breakfast will be held on Tuesday
September 30, 2014 from 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM.
This event, which was attended by over 650 people last year,
is meant to recognize the extraordinary leadership, deep faith, and community
contributions of the late and beloved Honorable Judge Brenda Burnham
Unruh. An award in her honor will be
given to an individual who exemplifies outstanding Christian values and service
to the community.
The event will also acknowledge the collaborative leadership
of Reverend Dr. Ronald J. Fowler and Pastor Knute Larson, co-founders of The
Love Akron Network, through the presentation of the Fowler- Larson Allies Award. This award will be presented to two individuals
who have jointly demonstrated an intentional effort to build bridges between
individuals or institutions of diverse color, culture or congregational
tradition.
