Nicholas Popov lived all over the world before he came to call Newmarket, New Hampshire his home. During his years here he came to love working with the children, and often read books to elementary school students, telling them, "Even if you are sitting in your room, you can go places with books."
When Nick passed away in June of 2006 our community lost a great friend. The contributions he made to our town were valuable and personal. He helped others out of love for people, rather than a need for personal gain, and he shared his skills, interests, and time freely.
The Nicholas Popov Memorial Award is given to a member of the Newmarket Community each year that captures the spirit of personal generosity, kindness, and service that Nick radiated through his actions. The recipient of this award must show a commitment to supporting our children and youth through actions and efforts promoting qualities that build a caring community. A $1000 award will be given each year to a community member who meets the criteria of the award. This money will be available for that individual to put towards any purpose of their choosing that serves the community of Newmarket.
