The awards were presented November 13, 2009 at the Chateau in Bloomington, IL. The awards were to recognoze the efforts that the two organizations have expended in creating radon awareness in their respective areas.

Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers claiming an estimated 21,000 lives annually in the United States. The only way to know the radon level in a house is to test the house for radon gas.
