The Orange County Human Relations provides programs to eliminate prejudice, intolerance and discrimination. Each year they recognize and honor outstanding people in our schools, communities or police departments for their exemplary contributions to human relations in Orange County. This year, one of the award recipients will be Sukh Chugh from Be the Cause.

Of course its an honor to be selected as a recipient of this award. But, more so than it highlighting the efforts of one person, I believe that the award really highlights the efforts of the entire Be the Cause community. The volunteers that participate in our many projects quietly and at many times without recognition slowly shape the well-being of our community. It is easy to pin my face as the poster child of these efforts because maybe I helped start it all, but in reality, these days, its the silent and yet dedicated force of all the countless volunteers that makes the benefit to the community really happen.
The Orange County Human Relations has been doing amazing work for decades to bring people together. To be recognized as part of their heritage is a true honor.
Congratulations to Be The Cause for being recognized in this way! Sukh, are you planning on posting the acceptance speech here?
Yaaay!
