Mary Clare Pikus

The Prudential Spirit of Community Award of Excellence

The Prudential is honored to celebrate the contributions of remarkable young volunteers. These students have not only

improved their communities through their exemplary volunteer service, but also set a fine example for their peers.

A letter from President Barack Oboma:

Congratulations on receiving the President’s Volunteer Service Award, and thank you for helping to address the most pressing needs in your community and our country.

In my Inaugural Address, I stated that we need a new era of responsibility - a recognition on the part of every American that we have duties to ourselves, our Nation, and the world.

These are duties that we do not grudgingly accept, but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is

nothing so satisfying to the spirit than giving our all to a difficult task. Your volunteer service demonstrates the kind of commitment to your community that moves America a step closer to its great promise. Our Nation faces the most

challenging economic crisis in a lifetime. We will renew America if we all work together. Individuals, the private

sector, and government must combine efforts to make real and lasting change so that each person has the opportunity to fulfill his or her potential. While government can open

more opportunities for us to serve our communities, it is up to each of us to seize those opportunities. Thank you for

your devotion to service and for doing all you can to shape a better tomorrow for our great Nation. Barack Oboma
