Each year, the BHCA awards one scholarship each year to a student in thanks for his or her contributions to the community and singles out one individual or group whose leadership positively impacts Beacon Hill.
The Beacon Award
The Beacon Award provides the BHCA the opportunity to applaud publicly those leaders in our community who have contributed the most to the beautification, preservation, safety or enhancement of the quality of life on Beacon Hill. Those recognized to date have brought a range of talents to bear on a variety of challenges and opportunities, from representing community interests in complex development projects to educating our children, from sustaining a family-run drug store to leading our civic organizations, but they all share in equal measure an unwavering commitment to maintaining the delicate balance between history and progress that defines Beacon Hill.
