Our vision is to measurably improve the health, wellness and quality of life for the people of Pottawatomie County and its surrounding communities.

Do you know someone who’s “Here for Good”?

Avedis Foundation established the Michelle Briggs “We’re Here for Good” Service Award to recognize an individual who has provided exemplary service above and beyond their vocation or profession to Pottawatomie County and/ or the surrounding communities of Seminole, Meeker, Chandler, Prague, and Little Axe.

The award recipient will designate an organization that meets the foundation’s selection criteria to receive a $5,000 discretionary grant. The award will be presented May 28, 2026.

If you know someone whose dedication to service has improved the quality of life of our community, we encourage you to submit a nomination.

In that spirit, we call our foundation Avedis.
