Daybreak Public Service Award

The Daybreak Rotary Public Service Award recognizes someone in our community who goes “above and beyond” in giving of themselves, unselfishly, either through their vocation and/or their volunteer efforts.  We especially encourage nominations of individuals who have used their career and professional position to bring about good for our community.
