CORA Classroom Champion 2009 Award CriteriaEach year, CORA Services hosts an event to celebrate its anniversary and raise money for its mission in order to continue the work of its founder Sister Charity and the Sisters of the Good Shepard. Rooted in a tradition of care and compassion, the mission of CORA Services is to assist children, youth and families experiencing emotional, academic and social challenges which impede their development and productivity. Traditionally, the CORA Services Award is presented to business and community leaders for their contributions toward the growth and enrichment of local children and families. This year, CORA Services will also recognize a student for their achievements in the classroom and in their community.
