The Adventure Café’s Unsung Hero Award is our chance to shine a light on those who make meaningful contributions to causes in the Mother Lode. Nominations will be taken all month long, and a winner will be announced on the first Monday of the following month. Recognition will be given to a community member that may not always receive appreciation for their efforts, but should be acknowledged. Nominations are open to the community, and each month we will recognize our Unsung Hero in a salute to a selfless volunteer who tends to do their work behind the scenes rather than those who are in positions of leadership.
I acknowledge my submitted data is being collected and stored as outlined by the site Privacy Policy.

UNSUNG HERO RULES
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.
Beginning Friday May 2, 2024 the radio stations of Clarke Broadcasting will select one name from nominations placed each month, and award an Unsung Hero on the following Monday. The Unsung Hero program will have a duration of a minimum of twelve months and may be renewed without notification.
Nominations will be submitted only via radio station websites KKBN.com, KZSQ.com and KVML.com.
Links on those station sites will take the user to a nomination form. The form must be filled out with as much detail as possible, and must state a way to contact the nominee whether by phone or email, should they be chosen. There is a space to describe the nominee’s work that makes them an Unsung Hero. Nominees should not be recognized leaders of groups or organizations buy rather should be persons who never seem to receive the recognition they deserve.
Nominees should be persons who are familiar to the person who submits the nomination and should be upstanding members of the Mother Lode community. Clake Broadcasting reserves the right to research any nominee and disqualify them for any reason.
Monthly winners will receive a fifty-dollar gift certificate to the Adventure Café. Once notified of their selection, the winner will have thirty days to pick up their prize at the Clarke Broadcasting studios at 342 S. Washington St. in Sonora. Gift certificates will not be mailed. The potential winner may be required to prove eligibility, including, without limitation, proof of age, residence and identity, which may include submitting a copy of a driver’s license, passport or similar government issued identification.
