The Vega Awards
Every community has humanitarian heroes – exceptional people, clubs, and companies who are willing and able to assist others less fortunate than they are. They donate money, they give time, and they give of themselves. Often, this charitable work goes unrecognized, except by the individuals and communities they assist.
Each year on behalf of the people, organizations, and communities we assist the Historic Vessel Vega recognizes and awards outstanding groups, companies, and individuals who have saved, improved or enriched the lives of others or society as a whole, through personal self sacrifice, selfless service, or ‘hands on’ charitable work.
These annual Humanitarian awards recognize outstanding individuals and companies who go above and beyond the call of duty to help others and have an affinity with their fellow human beings, exceptional examples of what a humanitarian is – a person who works to improve and enrich the lives of others.
