We'd like to introduce you to local Jefferson Awards Nominees, Wink & Willa
Dillard of Lakeland.  Pat Minihan nominated the couple for this public service award. 

They shared with us why:

 We have known the Dillards for the past seven years.  They spend hundreds
and hundreds of hours volunteering for the Children's Hospital in Tampa. 

Wink & Willa spend time transporting crippled kids from the Lakeland area to the hospital in Tampa.  They both live to help the children.  Recently, Wink Dillard was featured as the volunteer of the month at Shriners Hospital in Tampa.



Past Winners

Past winners of the national award include Cesar Chavez, Jimmy Carter, Walter Chronkite, General Colin Powell, Arthur Ashe, Paul Newman, Lance Armstrong among many others.

By honoring the Jefferson Award recipients, it is the goal of the American Institute for Public Service to inspire others to become involved in community and public service.
