This year the Pepsi Little People’s Volunteer of the Year Award goes to the entire Little People’s staff of volunteers, for their outstanding work in making the 2021 tournament a great success.
“I was unable to be at the tournament in person this year,” said Nan Ryan, Little People’s Founder and Executive Director, “but everyone banded together to make the tournament one of the best we’ve had in the past 47 years. This includes the Little People’s Board of Directors, Advisory Team, Committee Chairpersons and all of their volunteers.
“I have received many compliments from parents, not only about the running of this year’s tournament, but also about the hospitality shown by all of Quincy,” added Ryan.
Each year Little People’s depends on the many volunteers who work diligently, some throughout the year, and others before, during and after the tournament.
“I can’t point to one person, which is why this year’s Volunteer of the Year Award is going to all of those volunteers who made the 2021 tournament such a success,” said Ryan. “Congratulations to everyone.”
