• THE BRIDGEBUILDER AWARD recognizes the outstanding service of individuals who have built bridges of dialogue, cooperation and understanding among diverse groups and communities in Chicago’s northern suburbs.
• THE BRIDGEBUILDER AWARD recognizes that we live in an enormously diverse world that continues to get smaller. This honor affirms models of success that represent bridges of communication and hope, and demonstrates to our young people the “heroes” of today who are taking a stand, making a difference and building bridges for a better world.
• THE BRIDGEBUILDER AWARD is presented by the Justice & Peace Commission of the Chicago Province of the Society of the Divine Word. The Society is an international Roman Catholic Order seeking to build communities of hope and love around the world. The ChIcago Province’s headquarters is at Techny, IL
