The President’s Volunteer Service Award

The President’s Volunteer Service Award was established in 2003 by President George W. Bush to recognize and honor volunteers for their valuable contributions to communities across the United States. It encourages volunteerism and is administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). In alignment with National & Utah Philanthropy Day, every ticket purchased contributes directly to a volunteer's award, adorned with the signature of President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

The Presidential recognition distinguishes our Cache Valley volunteers and is a significant honor. While volunteers may not actively seek recognition, their example can inspire others to get involved and make a difference. This is not just an event; it's a testament to the spirit of philanthropy in Cache Valley.

HONOREES

To all the honorees in Cache Valley, your commitment to volunteerism is a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of kindness and selflessness. Your actions inspire us all to be better, to give back, and to make the world a better place. Thank you for your unwavering dedication to our community, and know that your efforts do not go unnoticed. You are the heart and soul of positive change, and we are immensely grateful for all that you do!
