The Mighty Oak Award will be presented to Attorney Tobey Oxholm III, for his years of dedication to legal services for individuals experiencing economic difficulties. As a social innovator, he has led the creation of three award-winning public interest law projects: the Philadelphia VIP (Homeless Advocacy Project and Consumer Advocacy Project), a public-service-focused law school (Drexel Law), and the Pardon Project of Pennsylvania. He was instrumental in bringing the Pardon Project to Lackawanna County and continues to volunteer with Outreach on the project.

Outreach will also honor Anne Quinn Butler with the Beth Beh Community Spirit Award for her years of service to Outreach, which started in 2004 when she served as a Life Skills Program instructor at the Lackawanna County Prison. She continues to be an active member of our Board of Directors and the Fundraising Committee. These honorees have dedicated their time to volunteering and making a significant difference in the lives of others.
