The Good as Gold program annually recognizes about 60 individuals and organizations for their community service. Honor roll organizations are recognized for practices that encourage employees to volunteer, organize and support service efforts as well as support nonprofit and charitable organizations through individual and corporate donations. Categories included: Good as Gold Business Honor Roll, Heart of Gold, Star Student, Organization of the Year, Youth Volunteer and Distinguished Volunteer.

The annual Good as Gold ceremony was created by the University of Illinois-Springfield Volunteer & Civic Engagement Center, the Junior League of Springfield and the United Way of Central Illinois in 2009.  Citizens use the occasion to thank volunteers and businesses for making Springfield a better place to live.
