Philanthropy has power. It can create a ripple effect of giving, support and lasting change. That’s why every year the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County (CFAAC) commemorates philanthropy—the giving of time, talent, and treasure—in our community at the annual Celebration of Philanthropy Awards Luncheon.

The award recipients at the event often inspire us in both subtle and powerful ways. While some are quietly working under the radar and others are making a difference in a more visible way, all are sincere advocates for positive change
