2020 Philanthropy Awards
The 26th Annual Philanthropy Awards will be held on:
Tuesday, November 10th, 2020
The Ottawa Philanthropy awards (The Phils) represent the very best of the charitable sector and are a celebration of service, hope and commitment.
“There has perhaps never been a more urgent need and opportunity to celebrate the Phils – 2020, without question, has been a year of trauma and disruption for countless people,” says Teresa Marques, the board chair of AFP Ottawa and the President and CEO of the Rideau Hall Foundation. “And yet, community survives; it continues to fill the gaps; it makes us stronger by bringing us together to support those in our community who are in need. That is what the Philanthropy Awards do best.”
Tune in Tuesday, November 10 at 7pm to celebrate our 2020 Ottawa Philanthropy Award winners on Rogers Cable 22.
This special broadcast will be hosted by 1310 News host, Sam Laprade.
