San Antonio, Tx – Texas Choice Pageants™ today announced it has teamed with the White
House to become a Certifying Organization for the PRESIDENT’S VOLUNTEER SERVICE
AWARD, a national program recognizing Americans who have demonstrated a sustained
commitment to volunteer service. Established in 2003, the AWARD was created by
President George W. Bush to give Presidential recognition to individuals, families and
groups who meet requirements for volunteer service, measured by the number of service
hours performed over 12-months.

Texas Choice Pageants™ is one of thousands of organizations that have joined forces to
deliver the PRESIDENT’S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD and honor the volunteers who
strengthen our Nation. As a Certifying Organization for the AWARD, Texas Choice
Pageants™ is responsible for verifying service hours, nominating potential recipients and
delivering the AWARD.

"We are extremely proud to recognize our most outstanding Volunteers/Pageant Queens
with the PRESIDENT’S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD," said Texas Choice Pageants™
Owner/Director, Sandi Maxwell . "Texas Choice Pageants™ Queens are role models in our
community, donating their time, energy and talent to bring us closer together as neighbors
and a Nation. The AWARD is our way of thanking these volunteers and inspiring everyone
in our community to make volunteering a central part of their lives."

"Even if you’ve never volunteered before, the PRESIDENT’S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD
is within your reach," Sandi Maxwell said. "There are so many ways to contribute, and
every volunteer hour makes a difference in improving the quality of life for others. We
encourage everyone to get involved and to bring along your family, friends and neighbors.
Together, we can strengthen America – one hour at a time."

The AWARD is issued by the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation, a
group convened by President George W. Bush to help foster and encourage a culture of
volunteer service and civic participation among Americans. Chaired by two-time Super
Bowl Champion Darrell Green, with former U.S. Senators Bob Dole and John Glenn as
honorary co-chairs, the Council is composed of leaders in government, media,
entertainment, business, education, nonprofit and volunteer service organizations and
community volunteering.
