One Small Step Award

The One Small Step Award

Celia Busch was the founder of the non-profit organization I Wish, Inc, which provided grants to people living with HIV/AIDS. Celia was well known for her efforts to enhance the lives of those affected by the disease. The Celia Busch Award has been established by the Community AIDS Action Group (CAAG) of South Central Indiana. Each year, the award recognizes a person who displays characteristics similar to Celia by making a difference in the lives of those living with HIV/AIDS.

This award recognizes the hard work and commitment of a person who contributes to the benefit of those living with HIV/AIDS in South Central Indiana. The recipient of the award will be a person that consistently shows compassion, concern, empathy, understanding, advocacy and commitment for individuals and families that have been touched by the disease.

The selection committee, made up of CAAG members, will review all nominations and determine the year’s award recipient. The award is then presented at that year’s World AIDS Day Remembrance Celebration.

If you choose to nominate someone, please email caagprez@gmail.com and include a narrative (no more than one page) describing why your nominee should be selected. Include specific examples that illustrate the nominee’s commitment to making a difference to people living with HIV/AIDS.
