Volunteer Spotlight
by the AFRDS
Meet Irene. She's the driving force behind your school's most successful fall fundraiser. She's the parent who always steps forward when the class needs a "room mom." She's the first one to arrive on the morning of the fall festival and, she's probably the last one to leave. She's always willing to lend a helping hand. She always has an extra hour in her schedule to spend reading in classrooms. Irene is a workhorse.
There's no way to repay her for all of her efforts. But you can let her and others know how you feel in a way that'll make her - and your organization - feel warm and fuzzy all over.
The Association of Fund-Raising Distributors & Suppliers (AFRDS) would like to help you say
"thanks" to Irene and others like her. Every
fall and spring AFRDS will recognize a
parent or student volunteer who is
making a difference in the lives
of others - at school, at church,
or in their community.
How It Works
If you have an "Irene" in your
organization, tell us about her
- or him - in 500 words or less. He or
she must be at least 16 years old with a
demonstrated commitment to serving your non-profit organization through volunteer activities which must
include (but may not be limited to) fundraising through product sales.
All nominees will be listed on the AFRDS web site (www.afrds.org). In addition, one volunteer will be
selected (by a panel of AFRDS members) and
recognized with:
1) a special profile on the AFRDS web site which will include excerpts from the written nomination; and
2) a special certificate along with a $1000 check made payable to the school or non-profit organization served
by the nominee.
Important Information
To be considered, all entries must contain the following information:
- the name of the individual that you
are nominating;
- a description (500 words or less) of the volunteer service/s provided by this individual and why they stand out for their service and deserve to be recognized;
- your name, affiliation and phone number where you can be reached during the day;
- a daytime phone number where
the nominee can be reached; and
- the name and mailing address
of the school or non-profit
organization for which this
person serves as volunteer.
