Benjamin E. Cooper Award & Past Recipients |

 THE BENJAMIN E. COOPER AWARD honors outstanding contributions to the work of the Community Council for the Homeless at Friendship Place. Until his death in a tragic accident in 1997, at the age of just 17, Ben Cooper was a leader among the many students at Georgetown Day School who volunteer at Friendship Place.
The students help with outreach, office work, maintenance tasks — whatever needs doing. Ben was one of the most enthusiastic. His encouragement of those coming through the doors for help inspired both staff and other volunteers. We are honored to give this annual award in Ben’s memory. Below is a list of the recipients from past years.
