ManeGait Volunteers Honored with Daily Point of Light Award

Written By Mady White

Points of Light is a global nonprofit organization committed to advancing volunteerism and civic engagement. Each day, their Daily Point of Light Award recognizes individuals who “act on their power to do good,” using their hearts, hands, and minds to strengthen communities and address persistent challenges. By sharing these stories, the award uplifts everyday heroes and inspires all of us to find our own way to make a difference.

This year, the ManeGait team proudly nominated three exceptional volunteers whose dedication, compassion, and unwavering support embody our mission. These individuals go above and beyond—not only brightening our days, but profoundly impacting the lives of those we serve. Thank you, Jim Dougherty, Donna Coley, and Tom Blake, for bringing joy to all of us and truly embodying the heart of our mission.
