Michael and Son Services Wins National Award for Philanthropy

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Alexandria, Virginia, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) July 7, 2011 -- Alexandria, VA - Michael and Son Services’ recognition as a force for charitable good, actively involved in benevolent service to the company’s local business communities of Alexandria-Richmond-Norfolk, VA, Philadelphia, PA and Raleigh-Durham, NC, has now been bumped-up to a national citation with the esteemed Jefferson Awards for Public Service.
Michael and Son Services garnered the high award for their…
*‘Michael and Son Cares’ initiative that aids families in need with costly and essential home repairs they otherwise could not afford

*unwavering support of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation
*career support counseling at area high schools
After award ceremonies from the famous Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC, Mansour said, “I could not be prouder of the high recognition and significance behind a Jefferson Award and it means so much to me, personally, to be able to accept this national citation on behalf of all the Michael and Son employees who take our charitable activities to heart.”
The Jefferson Awards is a national non-profit project begun 39 years ago in the spirit of creating

a Nobel Prize for high public service recognition; Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was an original founder. Past winners of this amazing national award include the likes of Alan Greenspan, Colin Powell, Henry Kissinger, Oprah, Peyton Manning, Barbara Bush and President Jimmy Carter.
Mansour continued, “I understand the genesis of the Jefferson Award for Public Service is to shine the spotlight on businesses doing innovative and creative things in the communities they serve. And while Michael and Son Services continues to build a culture of corporate giving and volunteerism, I’m confident we can and will do even more moving forward. Giving back to the community is something we believe in and will continue to do. We are committed to working even harder to reach out to those in need.”
