Each year, KCRG-TV9 and our Show You Care Sponsors honor outstanding volunteers throughout Eastern Iowa.
Nominations are accepted during the month of November. Nine finalists are chosen by an independent panel of judges. The 9 Who Care award recipients are featured during a newscast and honored at a ceremony in February. During the ceremony, the award recipients are each presented with a $500 donation to give to their charity of choice.
Of these nine winners, one finalist will travel to Washington, D.C. to represent Eastern Iowa in a national competition for a Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Award.

Show You Care Support Request
KCRG-TV9’s Show You Care program proudly supports nearly 100 non-profit events throughout Eastern Iowa each year.
Each month, the Show You Care “Careforce” meets to determine which events to sponsor. The Careforce is comprised of our Show You Care sponsors and representatives from KCRG-TV9.
Guidelines:
The Careforce meets the first Tuesday of every month to consider all requests so we ask that all requests be submitted by the last Tuesday of the month prior for consideration.
We need at least 90 days to consider partnering with your organization. Requests made within the 90 days of event will be reviewed in the monthly meeting. Consideration of late request is based on availability due to a large volume of requests.
Reciprocal Promotion: Show You Care requires event organizer to include the Show You Care logo on all printed material (newspaper, flyers & program) and hang a Show You Care provided vinyl banner or pop-up stand at the event.
Show You Care requires the event organizer to report back within one month with the following information: number of attendees, amount raised, and benefits distributed.
