About the CFTF Awards Program

The Foundation’s Volunteer Awards Program inspires excellence by recognizing individuals for their distinguished service and dedication to the Colonial Fox Theatre project. We present two annual awards:

The Ralph E. Wallace Award for outstanding individual contribution recognizes a person who demonstrates excellence through his or her volunteer impact and quality of service.  An award winner will have distinguished themselves in their number of volunteer hours and/or the impact they have had on the project. The Ralphie recognizes an individual whose work ethic and dependability has earned for them our highest honor.

Most Valued Volunteer Award (MVV) recognizes those volunteers who have given significant contributions of time to the Colonial Fox Theatre Foundation. Recipients will have faithfully answered the call for help to participate in “stuffing” parties, theatre cleanings, Second Sunday Tours, Friday Flix, and other projects as they develop.

The 2011 Awards

Ralph E. Wallace Award

Sue Robinson received the Ralph E Wallace Award for Outstanding Individual Contribution this year. Sue exemplifies the spirit of community service. After working full days in her professional faux panting business, she eagerly answered the call to help us design and paint our special murals on the north wall of the theatre. These giant pieces of art are recognized by the entire community for the benefit they provide in revitalizing our downtown. Her contribution to the Foundation through the gift of her time and talents has furthered our fund-raising efforts and brought us closer to our vision.
