Citizen of the Year

The “Citizen of the Year” Award recognizes a Richton Park resident who, through their personal involvement, leadership abilities, and selfless giving of their time throughout the year, has positively affected the community and the lives of its citizens. This annual award, carefully chosen, honors those who’s contributions to Richton Park have resulted in a long-standing, substantial benefit or positive influence to the community through volunteerism, mentorship, and collaboration.
