Every city has its unsung champions—but here in Boulder City, Nevada (yes, the one next to Hoover Dam and just a short drive from the lake), it’s time to shine a light on those who make life better behind the scenes. The Boulder City Hospital Foundation has officially opened nominations for its “Heart of the Community” award gala, and you know who we mean—those folks who quietly step up, time and again.
What the award is really about
This isn’t a hall‑of‑fame for executives; it’s a real‑people celebration. Nominees can be an individual, a couple, or even an organization. The key? They’ve made a positive impact on Boulder City residents through volunteerism, skills, financial support—or all of the above.
The criteria include:
A track record of helping the community via time, talent or money.
Contributions to health care, education, the arts, youth or senior services.
Being a role‑model of compassion and integrity.
And although residency in Boulder City isn’t required, the nominee must have meaningfully supported our local community.
Why this matters
We all know that the vibe of a town comes from the less‑visible folks—the coaches, the volunteers, the behind‑the‑scenes givers. This award puts a spotlight on them. Nominating someone puts the “thank‑you” sign up in big letters. Bonus: the gala is set for February 7, 2026, so this is your moment to submit before the deadline on Friday, November 14.
Stand‑out offerings (aka why you’ll want to nominate someone now)
A simple nomination process — just fill out a brief survey online.
Recognition goes to those boosting key community pillars: health, arts, youth, seniors.
It doesn’t matter if the nominee lives here—what matters is their impact here.
The event couples local celebration with community networking and connection.
The community vibe
Over by the old mall and the arts district areas alike, you’ll see how much Boulder City thrives on everyday generosity. This award strengthens that by saying: yes, you matter—your efforts matter. And everyone else sees it. Also… if you’ve been wondering why your neighbor’s so quiet lately—maybe they’re busy being extraordinary.
Closing kicker
Don’t let this one slip by—get your nominations in before November 14 and give someone the platform they deserve. The heartbeat of Boulder City is made up of its everyday heroes—let’s make sure they’re seen.
