Keuka College is asking the community to help spotlight people who make the Finger Lakes a better place to live.
The College’s Community Associates Board has opened nominations for the 2026 Donald and Corinne Stork Award for Community Service, which honors individuals who give back through volunteering, public service, or local leadership.
Keuka College established the award in 1991. It is named after its first recipients, the late Penn Yan residents Corinne and Donald Stork.
The College created the honor to reflect its long-standing commitment to individual initiative and service for the common good. Since the award began, dozens of recipients have been recognized for strengthening communities across the Finger Lakes region.
Nominees may be individuals or couples who live or work in the region. Community members may nominate others, and self-nominations are also allowed. Nominations must be submitted using the College’s online nomination form.
The 2026 Stork Award will be presented during a luncheon at Keuka College this summer.
For more information, contact Keuka College Associate Vice President for Advancement Billy Jo Jayne at (315) 279-5735 or by email at bjjayne@keuka.edu.
