Join us for the Good Neighbor Awards on May 21, 2025 on the SteelStacks campus at our home, the Univest Public Media Center. The Good Neighbor Awards are given each year in the spirit of Fred Rogers, who was everyone's neighbor.

Lehigh Valley Public Media will recognize our neighbors who make significant contributions to improve the quality of life in the Lehigh Valley. Thank you to all our community members who shared nominations for the 2025 Awards.
