Charles Hecking Chorus Charitable Contribution Award
This award recognizes the Illinois District Chapter that makes the highest per capita dollar contribution to local charities, the Illinois District, and/or the Harmony Foundation during one calendar year.

The award is presented during the chorus competition.
The award will be presented by an Illinois District Board member or an Awards Committee representative.
The largest per capita dollar amount contributed by an Illinois District Chapter during the previous calendar year determines the recipient.
A solicitation letter is sent in February of the year the award is given, to all Illinois District Chapters asking them to apply for the award. (Money contributed to the Harmony Foundation can be obtained and verified by contacting the HF Director.)
Typically, one certificate is given to the chorus. There is also a plaque, used for display purposes only, that will have the chorus name and date engraved on it.
