Spirit of KUAC Award

Spirit of KUAC AwardThe Spirit of KUAC Award is presented annually to a volunteer for exceptional service.

Volunteers enhance our public broadcasting mission by serving in many roles, from radio program hosts, phone volunteers, and on-air talent during our fundraisers, to committee members who assist in fundraising, and hard-working folks who help out with special events, and outreach. KUAC relies heavily on hundreds of these dedicated community members, and we are pleased to be able to honor them.
