Crystal Apple Awards - 05.29.2025

The Crystal Apple Awards is our community's annual opportunity to express gratitude to the teachers, administrators, and support staff who have significantly impacted children's lives. In partnership with the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce and Salem-Keizer Public Schools, the McLaran Leadership Foundation hosts the event to honor the educators who have been instrumental in shaping the lives of children throughout our community.

Tickets to the live event are currently SOLD OUT!

Those still interested in attending are invited to purchase a Viewing Room Party ticket, where guests can watch the live feed of the program with friends and family in a nearby room at the Salem Convention Center. See below for more details on the Viewing Room!

CRYSTAL APPLE AWARDS VIEWING PARTY ROOM:
Due to the large number of nominees and the limited capacity in the Convention Center Ballroom, we have opened a Viewing Room at the Convention Center for the Crystal Apple Awards. Admission to the Viewing Party is $25 per person and will include light snacks, and a no-host bar. 

Visit the Crystal Apple Awards Website to learn more about this annual tradition, view the complete 2025 Nominee List, see past winners, a photo gallery, and more.

We would like to extend our gratitude to our Presenting sponsors: Mountain West Center for Community Excellence and Maps Credit Union
