2020 City of Destiny Awards Premiering on September 12

Mayor Victoria Woodards and the City Council will recognize Tacoma’s top volunteers and service providers during this year’s 34th Annual City of Destiny Awards. 

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the City of Tacoma will present a virtual format of the awards ceremony that will be premiered on multiple platforms. The new format will highlight all of this year’s awardees and feature local performers.  The event will premiere on TV Tacoma, tvtacoma.com, and streamed live on Facebook at facebook.com/cityoftacoma on Saturday, September 12, at 6 PM.

“The community members recognized each year as part of the City of Destiny Awards are a living example of compassion in action. Their dedication to service is an example to us all, and the positive impacts they make are even more important for a community responding to a global pandemic,” said Mayor Woodards.

For over 30 years, the City of Destiny Awards has honored more than 200 volunteers and professionals who go above and beyond to help to make Tacoma a vibrant community. The awards ceremony has always been a live event until this year.
