“We are delighted to present Pam Burley and Bette Bonney with our inaugural Volunteer of the Year Award, in recognition of their relentless work in making Jumpers and Jazz in July an incredible destination event,” said Ms Goldup.
“From writing grant applications, measuring economic impact, building sponsorship packages, artist management, programming, national media pitches, digital marketing, and of course, ticketing. To their credit, they have done it with the support of their volunteer teams with absolute grace. Most importantly, we recognize that they do it all for just one thing: the love of their hometown – Warwick.“
