The Salisbury Award is the community’s oldest and most prestigious independent civic award. First given in 1926, the award was established and originally endowed by local businessman G. William Phillips to recognize “service that has been the greatest benefit to the happiness, prosperity, intellectual advancement or moral growth of the community.”
This ceremony marks the 72nd time The Salisbury Award has been presented to an individual or an organization since the award’s inception.
MAC Inc. is being recognized for 50 years of service to our community. MAC offers an abundance of services to help more active seniors live their lives to the fullest. To learn more, visit macinc.org.
