This annual award honors an SLV/SV community member who exemplifies dedication to improving the lives of others. Club members nominate award candidates in a couple months before we present the award at our Annual Fundraiser (late summer or fall).

About John and Deloris Crosson ​

The award is named after long-time San Lorenzo Valley residents and political activists, who worked tirelessly to support the local Democratic Club and north county democratic issues. John, a U.S. Navy veteran, was confined to a wheelchair due to a spinal cord injury but physical limitations never interfered with his advocacy efforts and political activities. Deloris was a uniquely free spirit who demonstrated that we can engage in political activity and still have a good time.​
