MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - Tickets are on sale now for the Evergreen Award of Marquette County luncheon.

The Evergreen Award honors an individual in the community who has dedicated their time and energy to support and mentor women and girls.

The Evergreen Scholarship is awarded based on the same criteria but is for someone looking to continue their education or switch careers.

Kori Bjorne of the West End Health Foundation and Zosia Eppensteiner of the Community Foundation of Marquette County stopped by Upper Michigan Today to talk about the nomination process, the awards, and the luncheon.

But first, Elizabeth Peterson and Tia Trudgeon share stories of the day.
