Join us each year as we come together to honor the remarkable individuals and organizations that enrich the Springfield community through their dedication and service. The Good as Gold Ceremony, established in 2009, shines a spotlight on the tireless volunteers and nonprofit organizations that embody the spirit of giving.

This special event is a collaborative effort by the UIS Volunteer & Civic Engagement Center, the Junior League of Springfield, and the United Way of Central Illinois. Together, we recognize the incredible achievements of local volunteers who make Springfield a better place to live and thrive.
