These Finalist will all be recognized, honored, and given gifts of love, all evening, as "Lifelong Angels In Our Community." Each Honoree will receive a 2020 Lifetime Achievement Spot Light Award, and each award will be given in honor of; with the approval of the families, all 9 of the Mother Emanuel victims.

2020 SPOT LIGHT AWARDS HOST MR. RAPHAEL JAMES
About The Organizers
The Spot Light Awards 2018 & 2019 proved to be perfect examples of how individuals (Servant Leaders/ Angels) who work tirelessly to help others in their communities, truly make a tremendous positive difference.
The Angel Alliance, a 501 C 3, was formed to help support the efforts of these Servant Leaders; to help them to have the ability to reach out to even more individuals and families.
Fair Deal Grocery “The Spot 47” is a business that was opened in 1953 by Paul and Gladys Powell, and it has been a family owned staple of the community; providing a multitude of services and community support, for the last 67+ years.
Being that the business has been around all of these years, the owners are fully aware of the difference that one positive individual can make in a community. As a matter of fact, The Late Ms. Gladys, was always that individual for the store’s neighborhood; on the east side of the city. The Seeds of Love, that she planted over the many years, are still producing positive outcomes to this day!
