It's obvious from the criteria, which I am pretending to list here, here, and here, that Joseph and David should receive this award over any other nominee.

Betty wanted to make the area safer for the people who lived there and the committee led to 6 arrests in the first few months after there had been none in the past 18 months.

I think Proffitt deserves the Giraffe award. He acted out of goodwill,  and he tried to stop the pollution by confronting those responsible with lawsuits, even when no one else supported him. He also pays for his own equipment (since saving the river is not a job he is paid to do) and he had to help pay for some of the lawsuits as well, putting him potentially at financial risk. All in all I think Proffitt is the most deserving of the nominees.

I say yes because he is risking his own life just to save others which is a huge personal risk. Also he is risking his job for other people which shows how caring he is

She made personal risks of her physical self by doing rallies in parking lots drug dealers deal in and by demanding police to be more vigilant. She cared for the community to make it a better place by setting up a hotline and doing rallies. Her acts were healing for the community getting 6 drug dealers caught in only a few months. She went above and beyond to make the community safe not just for her and her family but for everyone.

This being because her actions did in fact make an impact on crime in Boston. Crime is something that  can take a toll on future generations as it poses a threat to the youth. Betty's actions by creating a rally located at a parking lot notorious for drug dealers created quite a message not only directed at the dealers, but at the Police force as well. Betty stated at the rally for the police that they be more vigilant and create a hotline made for reporting suspicious activity that would look like narcotics being distributed. The statement also may have gave the Police force a drive to go out there and serve the law to those who opposed it.

he deserves this award because he has a good mindset and he puts others lives before his own. He says "I love saving lives, nobody has done it better than I do".. so 'confident about what he does and sure it will happen. He doesn't even focus on everything around him with the cameras and tv.  Hes risking his life.

Yes I believe Ray deserves a Giraffe award.  He went out of his way to protect the river. This isn't a job for him it's just him wanting to take care of his community. He figures out where the pollution is coming from then warns the owners to clean it up. If they choose to not do so he takes them to court out of his own pocket and only sometimes does he get reimbursed. That is why I believe Ray Proffitt should receive a Giraffe award.

Betty Washington should be nominated because she puts herself at risk trying to get drug dealers arrested, and has good intentions for everyone in the area trying to make the area safer, and she's doing it on her own time without expecting any recognition.

She wanted to make the place she lived in safe for future generations, and risked her own life by making a committee to shut down drug dealers, which is very dangerous and it could've put her in harms way. The committee was successful and got multiple people arrested, so she is making a difference.

Ray Proffitt is the most deserving for the Giraffe Award due to the fact that he goes out of his way, out of care, to scan the Delaware river for pollution. Furthermore, he traces the source of the pollution back to an individual which he then prosecutes in court. He deals with the financial burden himself which is certainly a risk due to how much it costs to take someone to court, or even defend yourself in court. Sometimes this is paid for by court order of the opposed, nevertheless he paid for all other expenses. These expenses include, the fuel for his vehicles, maintenance, photography, etc. He is also helping out the environment by doing this and adding further disincentive towards polluting the environment.

I say yes because she is putting her life at risk but still chooses to help fight and stop drug trafficking.

He is risking his job and his life saving other people. According to the foundation it says "a Giraffe must be taking on significant personal risks" which Jerry does. He goes out of his way to save other people instead of doing his job which violates his job guidelines but he rather save people.

Betty took an extra step to help the community by starting a rally to stop drug dealers. It would benefit children in the area and also adults passing by. She was risking her safety by joining the rallies on the front line and managed to arrest 6 drug dealers.
