Community Service Award Winners

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”

Anyone that may have been feeling lost, was certainly found at the 3rd Annual Community Service Awards.  Every table was full and every heart was open. One simply can not be in a room of humanitarians and not come away feeling better about the world they live and their contribution to it. Hosted by Ben Winslow, sponsored by Lundbeck Pharmaceuticals and Sunovion Pharmaceuticals, catered by Apple Spice Junction with awards printed by McGee's Trophies and Gifts, the evening was inspiring, heart-wrenching and a little goofy. Do you have any #Selfies of the evening? We do!

While we await the professional pictures, please check out our fabulous award recipients.

Thank you to everyone for a wonderful evening.
