After exploring the Seven Summits, Robert "Bo" Parfet founded Denali Venture Philanthropy in Boulder, northwest of Denver, Colorado, to empower entrepreneurs seeking to advance high-impact social change. He was also credited with establishing the Seven Summit Awards Program to enhance healthcare research around the globe. Having exceeded 4,000 hours of volunteer service, Robert "Bo" Parfet attained the Gold level of the Presidential Service Award.
The United States President issues the Presidential Service Award via Points of Light Foundation and the Corporation for National and Community Service. Among other requirements, the coveted award is given to any individual, family, or group who has performed a 4,000 hour or more volunteer service, which is recognized by a certifying organization. The award includes a formal presidential service award pin, a personalized testimonial of achievement, and a president-signed congratulatory message given only to United States citizens and lawfully-registered permanent residents. There is no need to belong to a specific group to earn the award. Still, records of the rendered service may be kept by the certifying group authorized to administer the honors to its verified volunteers. The award is to encourage every American to contribute massively to the development of their societies. |
