Virginia Youth Honored for Volunteerism at National Award Ceremony
Two Virginia students, Samantha Halle, 18, of Chesterfield and Nyasha Sprow, 12, of Dale City, were honored in the nation's capital recently for their outstanding volunteer work during the presentation of The 2010 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. The two young people - along with 100 other top youth volunteers from across the country - received $1,000 awards as well as personal congratulations from former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Olympic snowboarding champion Seth Wescott at the 15th annual award ceremony and gala dinner reception, held at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. Samantha and Nyasha were named the top high school and middle level youth volunteers in Virginia last February. In addition to their cash awards, they received engraved silver medallions and an all-expense-paid trip with their parents to Washington, D.C., for this week's recognition events.
