Anyone in the community may submit a nomination for someone to be selected as a OneJax Humanitarian. Self-nominations are also considered. Nominations may be completed and submitted during the month of September each year.
Once the nomination period closes, a selection committee made up of members of the OneJax Executive Committee and previous Humanitarians evaluate the nominations and make the final selection. The Humanitarian Awards is the largest fundraiser OneJax holds during the year. This notable event includes a formal ceremony to recognize the new group of Honorees each year.
