DID YOU KNOW?

MCCF sometimes gives out individual awards!

In 2008 the Civic Federation presented a Special Youth Civic Achievement Award to Sarah Boltuck, then a senior at Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, “in honor of her outstanding contribution to the civic life of Montgomery County and Maryland.”  She led a successful effort to secure the right of 17-year-old Maryland residents to register and vote in a primary election if they will turn 18 before the general election.

At its annual awards celebration, the Montgomery County Civic Federation currently bestows awards on individuals and/or groups that have provided outstanding public service to the people of the county:  The Star Cup, the Sentinel Award, and the Wayne Goldstein Award.  A fourth award, the Legacy of Leadership Award, was added in 2026.
