Jim Bishop Award

This award is named after one of our members who helped ABATE by going above and beyond the normal volunteer work. Jim graciously donated funding to keep ABATE in business after a poor fundraising effort. Any member that is not currently or previously a Board member is eligible for nomination of this award. Candidates must show contributions above and beyond normal service that benefits only ABATE and not the individual. Contributions can be monetary or personal.

If you have a member in mind for this award, please send your nomination by email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Please include the reasons why you think your nominee should be considered for the Jim Bishop Award.

Volunteer of the Year Award

Any member (including past or present Board members) may be nominated for this award. This award is to reward the member that has taken that extra step in ABATE’s mission. The nominees must be someone that has spent many hours contributing to further ABATE goals in personal service, not monetary.
