This year’s recipients include Denali Education Center, Green Light Circus, The Upper Susitna Food Pantry, Sunshine Transit, Denali Nordic Ski Club, the Upper Susitna Softball Association, VFW Auxiliary Post 3836, Sunshine Station Childcare Center, KTNA, Talkeetna Elementary School, and Su Valley Junior/Senior High School.
