In honor of Erie County 250th celebrations, the General Pulaski Association, Congressman Tim Kennedy, and Erie County 250 are embarking on a multi-year mission to recognize 250 individuals with the Congressional Award in Cultural Excellence.

This banquet honors those who furthered the mission of their cultural organization, exemplified outstanding service to their cultural community or community at large, facilitated cross-cultural relationships with their interaction and leadership, or contributed to the well-being of Erie County and Western New York.

There is no cost to nominate individuals, and no cost to receive this award. All honorees are invited to participate in the 88th Pulaski Day Parade on September 12th in Depew, and their organizations are invited to set up tables and tents in Veterans Park to further community engagement.
