We showed up expecting our founder/executive director, Fraidy Reiss, to win one of seven $7,500 prizes for our work to end child marriage.
Surprise! She won the top Russ Berrie Making a Difference Award of $50,000. The Russ Berrie awards, given each year at Ramapo College in New Jersey, honor individuals who perform extraordinary community service or unusual acts of heroism in New Jersey and those who have made a significant difference to the well-being of society.
