 Brighthop Recognized For Volunteer Service web posted February 15, 2008 JOHNSTON – Nikia LaPaige Brighthop, a senior at Strom Thurmond High School, has been honored for her exemplary volunteer service with a President’s Volunteer Service Award. The award, which recognizes Americans of all ages who have volunteered significant amounts of their time to serve their communities and their country, was presented by The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program on behalf of the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation. Nikia participated in the Spirit of Community program this year as a representative of Strom Thurmond High School. She earned her award by volunteering at University Hospital, Doctor’s Hospital, National Health Care and the Imperial Theater. “My volunteer work accomplished more than I can ever imagine. It made me a stronger and better person; but most importantly, I hope the people I helped benefited from my efforts more. That was my whole purpose of volunteering,” Miss Brighthop said. Sponsored by Prudential financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program recognizes young people across America for outstanding community service activities. Nearly 250,000 young people across America have been considered for these awards since the program began in 1995. “The recipients of these awards vividly demonstrate that young people across America are making remarkable contributions to the health and vitality of their communities,” said Arthur F. Ryan, Chairman of Prudential Financial. “They truly deserve all of the praise and encouragement we can give them” “The young people recognized by the Sprit of Community Awards demonstrate an enormous capacity for giving and reaching out to those in need,” said Gerald N. Tirozzi, executive director of the National Association of Secondary School Principals. “NASSP is proud to honor them as they are wonderful examples of the high caliber of young people in our nation’s schools today.” ©
