Not sure what an Impact Award is, here is a brief definition - an award presented by the Fashion Umbrella Foundation annually that recognizes individuals who inspire hope for the future of  youth and/or implement changes needed in our communities.

This year the Foundation made nomination submissions public, so community residents could nominate someone deserving of this award.
