This year’s Mae Hall McCabe Award, a distinguished award given for exemplary community service by the Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Chamber of Commerce, is awarded to SDTR. The chamber sponsors the award to recognize proven and tireless commitment to community service that leads to the betterment of the local area. Several criteria are considered:
- a history of commendable volunteerism
- sustained commitment to community service
- meaningful altruistic efforts for the good and welfare of the community
This award is a tribute to the dedication and hard work of all SDTR’s volunteers, sponsors, and management. And, of course, our wonderful hard-working horses without which the program would not be possible. Thanks and congratulations to all!
The Mae Hall McCabe Award was established in 1977 in memory of Mae Hall McCabe, who opened her real estate office in 1937 and contributed to the needs and causes of the Rehoboth Beach area for more than 50 years. She helped organize the Rehoboth Beach Chamber of Commerce and was later the first woman to hold the office of president for any Delaware chamber.
