First 100 Plus

 

nominations now open!

Help us select the first 100 plus Class of 2026!

 

Please plan to join us as we celebrate our milestone 15^th annual breakfast & awards ceremony by helping us select the First 100 Plus Class of 2026! Established in 2011, CCADV's First 100 awards breakfast was established to recognize leaders working across Connecticut to improve the lives of domestic violence survivors and their children.

The challenges facing survivors and the organizations that serve them have never been more urgent. Funding cuts, the loss of critical grants, and harmful policy shifts all from the federal level are threatening programs that families across Connecticut rely on for their safety. At the same time, more survivors are reaching out for help, and the complexity of their needs continues to grow.

We know that people across Connecticut have been stepping up in their local communities to support survivors and ensure access to the life-saving services provided by CCADV’s 18 member organizations. Let’s recognize their leadership and commitment to this movement!

Please share with us your nominations of individuals working in your community to help improve outcomes for survivors and their children. It is through ways both big and small that people may make a difference. Do you know someone from your community or profession who goes above and beyond when helping survivors and their families? Perhaps a law enforcement officer, educator, medical practitioner, attorney or faith-based leader. We want to hear their story and learn about their efforts to help survivors.

Please use the form below to submit your nominations. You may submit as many nominations as you'd like, although only 100 individuals will be selected so not all nominations are guaranteed to be included. Nominations will close on Monday, March 2^nd, 2026. Thank you!

• Remember, if you don't spell your nominee's name correctly, we won't be able to either.
• Please be certain to include both your nominee's contact information as well as your own so that we can keep everyone posted on who is selected to join the Class of 2025.
• Please note that we do not accept nominations of CCADV or member organization staff members as this event is intended to spotlight community partners.
•
