The Annual Outstanding Phoenix Youth Leader (OPYL) of the Year program is a partnership between Phoenix Rotary 100 and the City of Phoenix. This program recognizes and honors the outstanding achievements of young people, enhances the perception of youth, and raises community awareness of the positive contributions of youth. Our own members helped throughout the judging process - both reading essays from entrants and serving as judges at the in-person panel interviews to determine this year's winners. High school students were selected as council district winners and will be recognized, along with the teacher who inspired them the most at the award's luncheon during our Club meeting on Friday, May 1st. Each of the district winners will receive a cash award. The two overall winners from the city's district winners will be announced and will receive an additional cash award during the luncheon! Please join us on Friday, May 1st, at the Phoenix Country Club for our Annual OPYL program.

Submit Your Phoenix Rotary 100 Annual Award Nominations by Friday, May 1st, 2026, 5pm

Nominations are now open, through May 1st, for the club's annual Dave Wastchak Spirit of Rotary Award and the Tim Creedon Quiet Confidence Award.

Our members are doing such incredible things — let's pause to recognize some of the incredible achievements! With an impressive number of members eligible for our club's annual awards, we hope that you will consider nominating one of your fellow Rotarians who is eligible and deserving of recognition at our June 26 Presidential induction meeting, being held at the Embassy Suites.

Dave Wastchak "Spirit of Rotary" Award
This award honors past president Dave Wastchak's outstanding and spirited service to Phoenix Rotary 100. Dave epitomized Rotary's motto of “service above self” and was awarded the Rotary International Service Above Self Award in 1997 - one of 123 in the world at that time. In honor of his memory, the Club presents this annual award to a member with five years, or less, of service to the Club who best exemplifies the spirit of Rotary. You can find a nomination form, listing the eligible members for this award: HERE.

Tim Creedon "Quiet Confidence" Award
Tim Creedon, everyone's favorite Irishman, was a long-serving member of the Club, serving as president of both the Phoenix Rotary 100 and Tucson Rotary Clubs, district governor, and in 1998 was awarded the Rotary International Service Above Self Award, Rotary's highest honor. Tim was known for his dedicated volunteerism without expecting any recognition. Each year we honor his memory with the Tim Creedon "Quiet Confidence" Award. You can find a nomination form: HERE.

Please consider submitting a nomination for these honorable club awards by the deadline of May 1, 2026. The awards will be presented at the June 26 Presidential Induction meeting.
