Community Service Award - Tannon Hermon, Wildheart

🎉 Congratulations to Tannon Herman 🎉
Recipient of the 2026 Rotary Club of Harrisburg Community Service Award

The Rotary Club of Harrisburg and the CSA Committee is proud to recognize Tannon Herman (nominated by Char Magaro) as the 2026 Community Service Award Winner for his outstanding commitment to serving the Harrisburg community.

As Co-Founder and Executive Director of Wildheart, Tannon has played a transformative role in revitalizing the Allison Hill neighborhood. What began as grassroots conversations with neighbors has grown into a powerful movement that now mobilizes thousands of volunteers each year. Under his leadership, Wildheart has removed millions of pounds of trash, developed an urban farm to promote food security and education, and continues to deliver hands-on support to those in need.

Tannon is also helping shape the future of Harrisburg through the launch of the Harrisburg Community Development Corporation, focused on creating affordable homeownership opportunities and building generational wealth—beginning with the upcoming Gateway development in Spring 2026.

His impact has been widely recognized, including honors such as the City of Harrisburg’s Unsung Heroes Award (2021) and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Leadership Award (2024). Wildheart has also received numerous regional and statewide accolades for its community engagement and environmental efforts.

Tannon exemplifies the very best of Rotary’s motto, Service Above Self, through his vision, leadership, and unwavering dedication to improving lives across our community.

👏 Please join us in congratulating Tannon Herman on this well-deserved recognition!
