About the Award

Established in February 2000, the Governor's Points of Light Award program recognizes those Florida residents and organizations that demonstrate exemplary volunteer service to their community. Recipients have ranged in age from 6 years to 101 years old. The common thread is their love of their community and their belief that through volunteering, they can make a positive impact. Their commitment is what Governor Crist wants to recognize through the Points of Light Award program.
