Service to Children Award and Celebration

The Service to Children Award is presented yearly to a person or persons who exemplify TEAM’s belief that we all play a role in creating happy childhoods for children.  From its inception in 2007, the recipients of the award have been varied and interesting folks.

From 2018-2024, we have partnered with the Hoops Family Children’s Hospital at Cabell Huntington Hospital to present the award.

The TEAM for West Virginia Children is a non-profit organization whose mission is to work with communities and families to promote and advance the well-being of children, making their needs and healthy development a priority.  We deliver our mission by operating and partnering with an integrated network of programs that advocate for children, prevent child abuse and neglect, strengthen family relationships, and educate and build family-friendly communities.

The TEAM envisions West Virginia as a state where all children can grow and thrive in safe, stable, nurturing relationships, free from abuse and neglect, so they will achieve their maximum potential as adults.

The people chosen to receive our annual Service to Children Award have in their own way advanced our mission and share our vision.  For more information about the award, please contact Connie Kinsey at (304) 523-9587 ext. 316.
