They all have something in common-they are people who care enough to give back during their claim to fame or at the height of their careers. Everyone was dressed to the nines and the awardees had proud expressions on their faces. Courtesy photo Lori Hughett, President of Hughett Marketing based in Philadelphia is the founder and promoter of this annual awards presentation. It was obliuous that Hughett was thrilled to be around so many talented and diverse awardees and guest. During the entire evening, she played host to all of the winners and visitors as though they were guests in her own home.
People usually forget to give back after they have made it.
Mr. Jeff Greene, volunteer and photographer for the glamorous event said that there have been times that he got more out of giving to someone than his own personal interest in a situation and that feeling was its' own reward. Awardees were judged and chosen on their community service achievements and contributions to issues important to humanity. Some of the winners, shown in the group photo, are Councilman Wilson Goode, Jr., SBN President, Tim Reese, and Pedro Ramos, President of the Board of Education for Philadelphia. The judges consisted of distinguished people from the Business and Government communities. The qualifications for the nominees were diverse and nominations were accepted from the Philadelphia region.
