Each year, the Riverview Board of Directors presents a Community Service Award to a business group in recognition of service benefiting its students and district. This year, the district honored Bridge of Promise with the recognition. President Sally Coomer, with many student volunteers, accepted the award.

Bridge of Promise is a Valley non-profit organization supported by Special Care Agency and founded to enrich the lives of children, teens and adults with disabilities. It offers community-based programs, camps and respite support to families.

Over the past five years, more than 500 Riverview students have volunteered with Bridge of Promise, helping with its Summer Fun Fair, clothing drive, and fundraising opportunities.
