PRINCIPAL CHARITY CLASSIC VOLUNTEER VICE CHAIRS RECEIVE
GOVERNOR’S VOLUNTEER AWARD
Des Moines, IA – Principal Charity Classic Volunteer Vice Chairs received a Governor’s Volunteer Award from Governor Kim Reynolds and Lt. Governor Adam Gregg.
Principal Charity Classic Volunteer Vice Chairs were honored with a Group Governor’s Volunteer Award for their commitment to the Principal Charity Classic. Volunteerism is a core principle of the PGA TOUR and vital to the success of the Principal Charity Classic.
“The individuals and groups being recognized today are the people who show up. The people who invest in others and don’t ask for anything in return. Everywhere you look, you can see Iowans dedicating themselves to something greater.” said Rebecca Gernes, Governor’s Volunteer Award program coordinator “It is truly an honor to be able to recognize these individuals for their selfless acts of generosity through the Governor’s Volunteer Awards and inspire others to do the same.”
Coordinated by Volunteer Iowa, the Governor’s Volunteer Award program—now in its 39th year—provides an easy way for Iowa nonprofits, charitable organizations, and government entities to honor their volunteers with a prestigious, state-level award. More information is available at volunteeriowa.org.
