2025 Angel Oak Award Nomination Process and Form

The Angel Oak Award was established by the Exchange Club of Kiawah-Seabrook in 2011 and first awarded in 2012.   The purpose of this award is to recognize a volunteer who has made an outstanding contribution to the people or quality of life of Wadmalaw Island, Johns Island, Kiawah Island, and/or Seabrook Island.  Along with the award, the Exchange Club makes a $5000 donation to a local charitable organization of the recipient’s choice.  In addition, the recipient receives a remembrance and his/her name is inscribed on the Angel Oak permanent trophy.

The Nominating Form is included below.

Eligibility Criteria

Only South Carolina residents performing volunteer services related to activities on Johns Island, Wadmalaw Island, Kiawah Island, and/or Seabrook Island are eligible.  The nominee does not have to reside on one of these islands, but the service must specifically benefit the people or quality of life there.

The award is for a specific year but the effort leading to the award can be based on cumulative contributions over a number of years.  Nominees must have been active within the past 12 months performing the services for which they are being nominated.  

A nominee must have served as a volunteer and received no compensation for services rendered.

Process
