Who Are Butte's Unsung Heroes? Learn About The Moving Mountains Award

There is no question that Butte is full of everyday heroes. It is not just our first responders, our hospital workers and military members who garner the title but many who do so much on a different level. How many youth coaches here in Butte spend countless hours teaching our kids? Theater and musical directors. Older mentors and sports heroes. Butte's list if certainly far and wide, and Butte Cares believes that these people need to be recognized.

Moving Mountains Award recipients are those who consistently go the extra mile for others here in our community.
