Ed “Eddie" Kirkpatrick Award
The first City of
Glendora–sponsored perpetual volunteerism award was named after
Edgar “Ed” Kirkpatrick. Ed was an outstanding Glendora youth,
young adult sports figure, and citizen. Ed signed with the
California Angels as a catcher in 1962 just after graduation
from high school. Today, the Ed “Eddie” Kirkpatrick Award
continues to be awarded to an outstanding adult who has provided
exemplary and extraordinary service to the youth of Glendora in
the area of sports.

William E. “Buck” Dunham
Glendora is
acknowledged as one of the most volunteer-oriented communities
in the San Gabriel Valley. As such, the originating Commission
recognized that adults volunteer in numerous youth-oriented
activities. In order to acknowledge these volunteers, a second
award was created. This award was named in honor of William E.
“Buck“ Dunham and is awarded to an individual who has made
outstanding contributions to the youth of Glendora in an area
other than sports.

Ruth Harper Award
Glendora also
honors individuals who have made outstanding contributions to
the community's senior population. This award is named in honor
of Ruth Harper. Ruth was a tireless worker and volunteer for
the seniors of Glendora. Her tenacity on behalf of senior
services was instrumental in laying the foundation for
the programs and services that Glendora seniors enjoy today.
