Since 1988, the Issaquah Schools Foundation presents its Golden Apple Award to recognize individuals in our community who impacts the lives of our children, either through their volunteerism, financial support, business, or community efforts. Nominations from the community are submitted each year and the final recipient is then selected by the Issaquah Schools Foundation Board of Trustees. The Golden Apple Award is presented as a surprise to the honored recipient at the annual Issaquah Chamber of Commerce Community Awards scheduled for Wednesday, May 24, 2023.
