(KNZA)--The Kansas PRIDE program has named three area cities as a Community of Excellence for 2017-2019.

According to a press release from the Kansas PRIDE program, Delia, Perry and Olsburg are among seven receiving the honor for their ongoing accomplishments in community development.

The Kansas PRIDE program is a partnership of K-State Research and Extension, the Kansas Department of Commerce and Kansas PRIDE Inc.

The release says the award is given to local PRIDE volunteer groups that continuously work to improve their communities through activities such as determining the community’s needs, establishing goals, creating projects and celebrating successes.

Volunteers form a local PRIDE organization that works with K-State Research and Extension and the Kansas Department of Commerce to accomplish their goals.

The designation is awarded to a community for a three-year period.

As award winners, they are eligible to apply for Partners in PRIDE matching grants of up to $2,000 to fund future community improvements.
