Who is doing extraordinary volunteer work in YOUR community? AARP Tennessee invites you to thank them with a nomination for the state’s 2016 Andrus Award for Community Service. The Tennessee winner earns $2,500 for the charity of their choice.

The annual Andrus Award for Community Service is AARP's most prestigious and visible volunteer award. It recognizes individuals who are sharing their experience, talent and skills to enrich their communities in ways that are consistent with AARP's mission, vision, and commitment to volunteer service, and that inspire others to volunteer. The award honors Ethel Percy Andrus, whose motto “to serve, not to be served” continues to shape AARP’s work more than 50 years after she founded it to help older Americans age with dignity and purpose.

Nominations are open until June 3 for any Tennessean age 50 or older and must be submitted online. To nominate someone for the Andrus Award in Tennessee, visit: www.AARP.org/AndrusAward. AARP membership is NOT required to enter or win.

The 2016 winner will be chosen by a team of AARP volunteers who weigh each nominee’s impact on the lives of individuals age 50 or older, the degree to which they serve as an inspiration to others to volunteer, and the level of improvement they have achieved for their communities against the others. The award recipient will be announced in early September.
