The Aiding Children’s Excellence (ACE) Awards is a way to recognize individuals who go above and beyond for the children of Erie County. It’s a great opportunity to acknowledge those volunteers, community members, law enforcement, foster parents, attorneys, educators, court personnel, businesses and public/private non-profit agencies who make a difference each and every day. It’s extremely important to recognize the outstanding work that is being done in our community so that the nominees know how valued, impactful and meaningful they are to our community.
