Grand Canyon Historical Society Hall of Fame Award for Community Service
The Grand Canyon Historical Society and the National Park Service Grand Canyon presents the Hall of Fame Award for Community Service in recognition of those organizations and individuals who have selflessly contributed to the betterment of the Grand Canyon community over years past.
2009 Awardees

The awardees for 2009 are:  Becky Crumbo and Leo Schnur, M.D. (deceased).

These folks were recommended for their community service by previous recipients of the award and current residents. We rely on their recommendations as they know better than anyone who has been involved in community service at the Grand Canyon.

Becky Crumbo has been part of the Grand Canyon Unified School District for more than 25 years, during which she made the difference in lives not only of students, but of her colleagues as well. As guidance counselor, Dean of Students and now Head of School, she was key in the implementation of the International Baccalaureate Program, which supported her focus not only on academic success but a sense of community responsibility for her students as well. Becky has coached, mentored and served both students and members of the community through her service at school and Rotary.

Leo Schnur, M.D., a former Army doctor, not only served as physician to the community for many years but also to the Indian communities of the region. Dr. Schnur took great pride in the Grand Canyon community and this was reflected in his part in the planning for the Shrine of the Ages as he was elected President Emeritus of that organization. Through his selfless commitment to the Grand Canyon Council of the Boy Scouts, many of the youth of the community were inspired by his enthusiasm for life and knowledge. The Boy Scouts of America recognized this and honored with the Silver Beaver Award in recognition of his service. He also dedicated his efforts to the Grand Canyon community through his active membership in the Rotary Club and American Legion.
