What Is a Giraffe?

A “Giraffe” is someone who is willing to stick their neck out for others. Just as a giraffe stands tall and sees beyond the horizon, our Giraffe Award recipients demonstrate courage, compassion, and leadership by making a positive impact in the lives of those around them. These individuals go above and beyond to strengthen our communities, support those in need, and help make West Tennessee a better place to live, work, and thrive. The Giraffe Awards celebrate those whose selfless actions inspire hope, create meaningful change, and remind us of the power of giving back.
