Turning Passion into Action: Honored to Receive the President’s Volunteer Service Award

Writer: Shawn  DunahueShawn Dunahue

Service is more than a duty—it’s a calling.

I am honored and humbled to share that I was recently awarded The President's Volunteer Service Award for my work with the Parkinson’s Foundation – Florida Chapter in 2024. This recognition is not just about the hours I’ve given—it’s about the impact, the people, and the mission that have shaped my journey.



Why This Work Matters

Parkinson’s disease has deeply affected my life and my family, and through volunteering, I’ve found a way to turn personal experience into action. My work with the Parkinson’s Foundation has given me a platform to advocate, educate, and provide support—whether through fundraising, research initiatives, or simply being there for those navigating this challenging disease.


I’ve had the privilege of working alongside individuals who embody resilience, strength, and determination, and their stories fuel my ongoing commitment to making a difference.


The Power of Community

Volunteering has reinforced my belief in something powerful—we are stronger together. This work isn’t just about raising funds or attending events. It’s about honoring those we love, amplifying their stories, and ensuring no one faces Parkinson’s alone.


This award is a reflection of the collective impact of our community—the dedicated individuals, caregivers, and advocates who refuse to let this fight go unnoticed.


Let’s Keep Pushing Forward

Receiving this award is a reminder that the work is far from over. If you’ve ever considered getting involved in a cause that matters to you, I encourage you to take that step. Whether through advocacy, volunteering, or simply spreading awareness, every effort counts.


To those already engaged in the Parkinson’s Foundation or any mission-driven work—thank you. Let’s continue this journey together and keep making a meaningful difference.
