The Human Relations Council is soliciting youth (ages 10-18) and adult (ages 19 and older) nominations for the 17th Annual Good Neighbor of the Year Award. The award recognizes Wake Forest residents who work to improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods without seeking recognition for their efforts.
In order to qualify for this year's award, a nominee must be a Wake Forest resident who made a significant contribution to the community between Sept. 1, 2025, and Aug. 16, 2026. Employees of the Town of Wake Forest are not eligible. All nominations must be received by August 16, 2026.
The "Good Neighbor of the Year" Award is Wake Forest's way of recognizing residents who are committed to preserving, maintaining and improving the quality of life in their neighborhoods and our community. Your assistance in recognizing these residents is greatly appreciated.
Mayor Ben Clapsaddle will present a commemorative plaque to one youth and one adult winner during this year’s Good Neighbor Day on Saturday, Sept. 19. The event is scheduled from 1-4 p.m. at E. Carroll Joyner Park, 701 Harris Road.
