THE RAIFORD COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD
The Raiford Community Service Award is a private community based award that recognize local citizens, who foster
good will within their community and have devoted their life to aiding others. This award is open to residents in the
Metropolitan area only at this time. It was established to allow you the opportunity to nominate individuals whose
accomplishments or good deeds have gone unnoticed for far too long.
The Raiford Community Service Award acknowledge these special people as Heroes. Despite turbulent economic
times, they stayed the course by encouraging their community to stay focused and strong. By extending our
support, and yours, through this award, we hope to empower community leaders, elders, neighbors and law enforcement
to join us in honoring your nominees as community Heroes.
Founded by a local businessman and retired military veteran, Mr. Rai' Raiford began forming this award in 2006.
He has supported various non-profits and profit organizations around the Metropolitan area for many years. Mr.
Raiford felt that not enough was being done to recognize just ordinary people, who spend their time helping others.
The only way to change this error, was to start his own community base award, and the Raiford Community Service
Award was established.
The Raiford Community Service Award medal is a brilliant silver alloy star burst design. The medal consists of twelve
rubies for each of the astrological signs, and has no other symbolism but to add value to the medal. The design was
chosen to represent our community Heroes as stars. We all see them brightly in the nights sky, but they shine even
brighter during the day as well.
