About Us


We are a non-profit corporation dedicated to recognizing and honoring young people in our community who make the right choices and "Do The Right Thing". Three times a year, children from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area are nominated by teachers, firefighters, police officers and the public. They are nominated  for a self-sacrificing extra-ordinary act, outstanding charitable assistance they have extended, or their exemplary attitude and behavior.

From the hundreds of nominations received, twelve children are chosen to receive the Do The Right Thing awards. All nominees receive a Certificate of Recognition, a Do The Right Thing T-shirt, and a bumper sticker. The twelve winners also receive an engraved plaque, an incentive prize package, and an invitation to a special ceremony. In addition, the twelve winners are recognized on our website, on the CMS Cable Channel #3, the Charlotte Observer and all area media outlets.
