Annual Awards 2025

2025 Annual Awards Celebration

On April 25, SELF brought the community together to celebrate leadership, resilience, and impact.

We honored Tyler McCleary with the Janet Clemmons Community Service Award for his extraordinary commitment to service in Butler County and beyond.

We celebrated Jeffrey Diver’s 29 remarkable years as Executive Director and announced Sarah Starr as the new leader stepping into the role.

We recognized our 2024 Partners of the Year — Butler County Success Program, Butler Rural Electric Cooperative, and Catholic HEART Workcamp — for their game-changing support.

The highlight of the night: honoring our Alumni of the Year — extraordinary residents who turned challenges into triumphs and continue to inspire the entire community.

It was a night to remember — a celebration of those who light the way forward.

The online auction will close on April 25.
