Annual Awards Dinner
History
Each year several hundred people from our City join together to celebrate the special qualities of Berkeley, and the people who live here. This is an opportunity to recognize individuals who have contributed to our vitality of life and whose service sustain our shared values of creativity, compassion, social justice and interdependence.
At this dinner the Berkeley Community Fund is privileged to award the Benjamin Ide Wheeler Medal.
This event brings together an amazing cross section of Berkeley in an unparalleled dedication to people, organizations and the values we share. The dinner is held in the fall, and the date is announced as soon as it is finalized. All proceeds of the event are used to support the work of the Berkeley Community Fund.
