Paul Harris Community Awards

Each year, the Rotary Club of Carroll Creek grants Paul Harris Community Awards to deserving non-Rotarian members of our community.The Paul Harris Community Awards are named in honor of Rotary’s founder to recognize individuals who embody the organization’s motto, “Service Above Self.” These awards celebrate community members who demonstrate exceptional commitment to service and goodwill, often without seeking recognition. By acknowledging these unsung heroes, we uphold the values that Paul Harris instilled in Rotary—a dedication to ethical leadership and community betterment.

What We Look For: 

Honorees are nominated by RCCC Rotarians and are selected based on their genuine deeds and actions that reflect a deep commitment to serving others. Those recognized typically:

• Demonstrate goodwill through meaningful actions
• Go above and beyond the call of duty
• Seek no recognition and are not self-serving
• Are not active Rotarians
