FamilyCaregiverBlog.com has created a national award to recognize the folks who give so selflessly. The grand prize is $5000.

Here is the announcement I received from them:

SEEKING NOMINATIONS—FAMILY CAREGIVER OF THE YEAR AWARD

1 out of every 4 adult Americans is currently providing care for a parent or loved one—do you know a caregiver who deserves to be recognized?

FamilyCaregiverBlog.com is seeking community nominations for its annual “Family Caregiver of the Year” award program. In addition to dozens of local awards, nominees have the opportunity to win a $5,000 grand prize for the national award.
