BRANDEL-MURPHY YOUTH FOUNDATION AWARD
“Miracles through Service” Award”

The Brandel–Murphy Youth Foundation has created a unique award to recognize the
outstanding service performed by Lions throughout Multiple District 20 (MD-20) - the
"Miracles Through Service" Award. This award was aptly named after an important theme
used by PIP Al Brandel during his year as our International President. Each Governor in MD-
20 will be able to nominate one outstanding Lion in their district for the "Miracles Through
Service" Award. Each Governor will receive a nomination form to be completed and returned
to the Foundation. The Governors may not nominate themselves.

The nomination must first be approved by the Board of Directors of the Brandel–Murphy
Youth Foundation, cannot be purchased, and is only presented through the Foundation.
During a special ceremony at the MD-20 Convention, each recipient will be presented with
their medallion, a certificate signed by PIP Al and Foundation President PCC John Wargo,
along with a lapel pin that can be proudly worn or displayed to honor their outstanding
service. In addition to being nominated by each district governor on a yearly basis, PIP Al
Brandel and Lion Dr. Maureen Murphy may also select one outstanding Lion each year, who
in their opinion, has done outstanding service for those in need. Lastly, the Foundation Board
of Trustees may nominate a "Miracles Through Service" Award recipient each year as well
bringing the annual total to only 14 awards
