Nally Awards
The 2009 Nally Award was presented to Karen Chiu and the Wolfpack Volunteers of Boston Latin School (pictured left to right: Mayor Thomas Menino, Karen Chiu, Betsy and Dan Nally, and Philip Licari, Chair of the Board of Directors of The Greater Boston Food Bank.)
The Nally Story: In 1996 eight-year-old Dan Nally and six-year-old Betsy Nally, a brother and sister team from Westwood, Massachusetts, began collecting turkeys from their friends and neighbors to ensure that families in need would be able to enjoy Thanksgiving. Since that initial contribution of 36 turkeys to The Greater Boston Food Bank, their appeal for donated turkeys has grown into an annual event. To date, the Nallys and their organization, Turkeys 4 America have donated more than 700,000 pounds of turkey to The Food Bank. (Click here to watch a story about these two young people who are committed to ending hunger.) The Food Bank established the Nally Award in honor of Dan and Betsy to recognize other outstanding young volunteers in eastern Massachusetts who have done significant work to alleviate hunger. Karen Chiu and the Wolfpack Volunteers from Boston Latin School were honored as the winners of the 2009 Nally Award. The Boston Latin students collected more than 2,000 pounds of food from their series of food drives to benefit city residents. The award was jointly presented by Dan and Betsy Nally and Mayor Menino at The Food Bank's Chain of Giving in November 2009.
