Community Service Award

2024 Awardee: Ben Nathan

Benjamin (Ben) Nathan has been chosen by the Old Hallowell Day Committee as the 2024 Barry S. Timson award recipient for his unwavering commitment to our small and lively city.

Ben was born in Hallowell and plans to stay here all his life. He is a recent graduate of Hall-Dale High School, president of the National Honor Society and vice president of the Key Club. Ben applied his athletic experience as a three-sport team captain to coach baseball and basketball for the elementary school and 6- to 13-year-olds at Colby College in the summers. He established a mentoring program for middle schoolers, provided technology help at Granite Hill Estates during a tech support session, helped coordinate a food drive, and participated in many other activities that serve the community such as Trunk or Treat.

Ben plans to attend UMO with a focus on kinesiology, leading into a doctorate in physical therapy. Ben says he feels connected to Hallowell and enjoys seeing the same faces, that Hallowell feels like a family to him. For his many contributions to our community, the Old Hallowell Committee is proud to present the Barry S. Timson Community Service Award to Benjamin Nathan, a role model for all.
