Our 27th Annual Awards Celebration

Since 1999, SSMC has honored 188 local sustainability champions at our signature Awards Program, an event many in the county consider a “must-attend” highlight of the year. For 2026, we are thrilled to evolve this tradition into a dynamic new format designed to be more accessible and inclusive than ever! We’ve traded the formal sit-down dinner and auction for a high-energy, interactive format with a lower ticket price, designed to foster the connections that move the needle on sustainability.

This year, we hosted an energized evening at the South San Francisco Conference Center featuring expanded networking, a brand-new Youth Innovation Gallery and interactive opportunities to engage directly with local organizations committed to the sustainability of our county and planet. While the setting was fresh, the heart of the evening remained the same: We shared the deeply inspiring stories of the innovators and pioneers whose local actions are creating the ripples necessary for broad, lasting impact.

When: March 25 from 5 – 7 p.m.
Where: The South San Francisco Conference Center
