Nominations sought for 2024 Tire Dealer Humanitarian Award

AKRON — It's time once again to honor a tire dealer who goes above and beyond for his or her community.

Tire Business is seeking nominations for its Tire Dealer Humanitarian Award, which recognizes an independent tire dealer or retreader who during the past year has made significant contributions to the betterment of their community through charitable and/or public service work.

Now in its 31st year, the award has become one of the most coveted honors in the tire industry. The person selected as the winner will have demonstrated an unselfish commitment to the betterment of others.

Nominations will be judged by an independent committee outside of the tire industry. The winner will receive the Tire Dealer Humanitarian Award Medal and a $2,500 donation to the charity of his or her choice.

Last year's winner was Robert Dunlap, chairman and CEO of Dunlap & Kyle Co. Inc.

The award is open to any independent tire dealer or retreader in North America, regardless of business size or sales volume. Nominees must have an ownership stake in the business. Self nominations are welcome. Nominators are encouraged to renominate candidates if they are not past winners.

To enter your nominee, complete the nomination form, attach detailed support material and mail as soon as possible. Detailed support material is required for the nomination.
