Welcome to The Spot Light Awards Servant Leadership Recognition in Charleston

It is known that there are many individuals, in and around the The State of South Carolina, who are thought of as “Angels on Earth.”  These individuals work tirelessly; giving of their time, energy, and money, to make a positive difference for others in their communities, while neither seeking nor expecting anything in return. 

The Host of this event seeks to create an opportunity to thank these “Angels,” to show them that they are appreciated, by giving them “Their Flowers” while they are alive. The host also seeks to utilize this event to open the eyes of others, to see that they too can do positive things that will change lives, and make a real difference in our communities. 

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 support, for the last 65 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, Ms. Gladys, who is now 87 years young, has always been 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!

  The Spot Light Awards “Recognizing & Honoring The Angels In Our Community,” will be held on Saturday, November 16, 2019, 7:30 — 11:00 PM, at TBD.  The Black Tie Dinner, Red Carpet Affair, will be filmed and televised via NBC/CW Affiliates in Charleston, Florence/Myrtle Beach, and Greenville/Spartanburg, South Carolina, during the Thanksgiving Holiday. This event will offer an evening of Agape Love, Music, &  Entertainment.

The awards committee will select 18 nominated individuals as finalist, and all 18 will be recognized and honored at the event as "Angels In Our Communities." Yet, only 9 recipients will be chosen to receive A 2019 Spot Light Award.  By approval of the families, the awards will be named in honor of each of the Emanuel 9 victims. Thus, each winner will be chosen partially due to a quality that they co-exhibit with the Emanuel Victim their award is named for.
