WisconSibs’ Annual Sibling’s Choice Awards

Over the years, siblings have told us how much they depend on and appreciate quality caregivers who really care about their brothers and sisters.  So, in 2009, we developed two Sibling’s Choice Awards to acknowledge and honor professional and family caregivers across Wisconsin who do an outstanding job of promoting the independence and quality of life of a person with a disability. In 2023, a third category was added to the award to recognize siblings of people with disabilities who act in a caregiving role for much of, or all, their lives.

Nominations are accepted from brothers or sisters of individuals with disabilities.  Nominations recognize either family caregivers, siblings, or professional individuals, including service providers, physicians, attorneys, financial professionals, legislators and advocates who serve and support individuals with disabilities.

Submissions for 2024 Sibling’s Choice Award nominations will open soon! 


On November 11, 2023, WisconSibs was honored to present the 2023 Sibling’s Choice Awards to four dedicated caregivers. Please join us in congratulating them for their outstanding dedication to providing care to a person with a disability.
