Valley Legacy Awards is accepting nominations for honorees for its 10th annual awards event.

The awards recognize outstanding seniors and senior advocates from Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana counties. They honor people age 60 or older who deserve recognition for a lifetime of working to improve the Mahoning Valley and people who have provided exceptional support to older Americans through their professional, volunteer or civic roles.

Any person or group can submit a nomination in either of two categories: Outstanding Senior and Outstanding Advocate for Seniors. Nominations must be postmarked by July 31.

Nominees and award recipients will be recognized at the 10th Annual Valley Legacy Awards Luncheon on Oct. 2. Nomination forms can be obtained at the Shepherd of the Valley website, www.ShepherdoftheValley.com.
