Kane County Sheriff Seeks Citizen of the Year Award Nominees

The deadline is Oct. 15 to nominate someone for the 2012 Roscoe Ebey award.

The Kane County sheriff wants your nominations for the 2012 Roscoe Ebey Citizen of the Year award. 

Sheriff Pat Perez encourages members of the community to recognize those among them who demonstrate the spirit of selfless giving. Perez created this award in 2007 to honor Roscoe Ebey, who was murdered in his Aurora Township home.

Ebey was a selfless member of the community and a military veteran. It is through this award that Perez and the Ebey family can keep his memory alive by recognizing other selfless citizens who are always there to help their neighbors.
