The Lexington Unsung Hero Awards celebrates the individuals that weave together the fabric of our city, often working tirelessly behind the scenes without seeking recognition. They embody the true spirit of community service.
In 2026, the Lexington Unsung Hero Awards will present 6 Fayette County residents with awards, helping raise the visibility of their work. Unsung Heroes are individuals who have made a significant difference in the lives of the people they serve, weaving together the civic fabric of our city. Unsung Heroes could include public or civil servants, volunteers, coaches, and more.
We will be accepting nominations via form through October 1, 2025. A committee will review all nominations in the fall. Please contact Noel Osborn at noel@civiclex.org if you have any questions.
