Founders Coin Recipients
The “Founders Coin” was created to recognize someone who has gone far and above what others have done for OBR. This coin is given by the Founders (Stan Hays and Will Cleaver) and is a unanimous decision. These can be given out anytime and anywhere for people who embody the core of what OBR is in the daily actions.
Caught Doing Good Stories
The “Caught Doing Good” coin is given to an individual, whether or not it is OBR related, when that individual is caught doing something good for someone else. You are given 2 coins – one to keep, and one to give out. When you catch someone exemplifying “Caught Doing Good,” you give them one coin and get a picture of them and let them know their act is appreciated. You then send us an email and we will post your story and picture and send you another coin.
Keep it up!!
