Here are the award winners:

Carol Hardison, CEO of Crisis Assistance Ministry, Jack Callaghan Cornerstone Award (pictured with our President & CEO Michael Elder)
Hardison received our 2011 Jack Callaghan Cornerstone Award for her work at Crisis Assistance over the past decade, helping hundreds of thousands of men, women and children in Charlotte-Mecklenburg along the road to financial stability. She has played a key role in collaborating with partner organizations to strengthen aid programs in the Carolinas – including the development of the Critical Need Response Fund, the Workforce Initiative for Supportive Housing (W.I.S.H.
