The Eleanor Roosevelt Val-Kill Medal Awards recognize and honor individuals who make a significant contribution to society in the arts, education, citizenship, philanthropy, community services, and other humanitarian concerns that reflect Mrs. Roosevelt’s ideals. The Ceremony is our way of honoring those who live their lives in the spirit of Mrs. Roosevelt and serve as role models for the larger community, setting a standard for community values.
The Medal Ceremony is an opportunity and a teachable moment to bring to life what Mrs. Roosevelt accomplished through the actions and deeds of all of our outstanding Medalists.
Proceeds from the Medal Awards Ceremony help sustain the work of the Eleanor Roosevelt Leadership Center at Val-Kill in furthering Mrs. Roosevelt’s legacy.
