Les Tupper Award Presentation
Each year since 1969 the La Caņada Flintridge Coordination Council has presented the Les Tupper Community Service Award to individuals, organizations, and businesses which have given outstanding service to the community. A Student Service Award was later added. These awards are named in honor of Les Tupper, a civic leader who cared deeply about education, youth and enhancing the quality of life in the La Caņada Flintridge community.
This year's award recipients will be recognized at a public ceremony at the Von Karman Auditorium at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory , our hosts. Names of the recipients are published and the community will be invited to attend.
