The "Champions of Caring Project" is a collaborative effort between the public, private and Archdiocesan high schools in the Greater Philadelphia Region and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The mission of the Project is to teach high school students the universal lessons of the Holocaust by encouraging caring and combating the "disease of indifference." The Project identifies and honors students from diverse backgrounds who, by their commitment to service, have made a significant impact on the lives of others. The Awards Ceremony will be held on
