2025 "Neighbor of the Year Award"
The Neighbors Helping Neighbors event committee annually honors outstanding neighbors (individuals, families, and organizations) that exemplify the a generous spirit of community service in the greater Danville area. This recognition began 30 years ago with Robert Newton Pursel, a shining example of duty and philanthropy through his military service and volunteerism with many local organizations. A man known for his kindness, action, and commitment to community, Robert Pursel has long been recognized as Danville's standard for a "good neighbor". Since 1995, 40 neighbors have been honored and celebrated for their similar dedication to community giving. View a full list of past recipients and read more about Robert Pursel's life and legacy.
This year, we recognize two Danville neighbors for their dedication to our community's growth and vitality. The Neighbors Helping Neighbors Committee is pleased to honor Mayor Bernie Swank and the Danville Riverside Food Bank with the 2025 "Neighbor of the Year Award" in memory of Robert N. Pursel.
