Giving back. It's something we're encouraged to do, especially during the holiday season. For others, though, it's a way of life. Each year, the city of Aurora presents the Community Spirit Awards. They recognize volunteers and organizations who go above and beyond to make our city better.
In 2025, we honored 27 volunteers, six nonprofits and four businesses.
AuroraTV has highlighted some of them in the past, and we wanted to share those stories with you, again. We hope to inspire everyone to share the spirit of the season, throughout the year.
