For six years Volvo has hosted the Volvo for life Awards program, a national search for and celebration of everyday hometown heroes.
The Volvo for life Awards program has brought Volvo into countless communities in support of the inspiring work of an array of everyday heroes. From a little girl in Pennsylvania with cancer who raised tens of thousands of dollars for pediatric cancer research, to an elderly expatriate in Rwanda who converted her large estate into an orphanage for displaced children in the wake of the 1994 genocide, Volvo has introduced the nation to truly unique and selfless individuals who are trying to make a difference, often against incredible odds. Since initiating the program six years ago, Volvo has awarded nearly $5 million in charitable contributions to organizations around the country that have helped to make the world a better place.
The Volvo for life Awards program is currently on hold, but you can learn more about our amazing heroes by watching their stories.
