JFS Board Member Receives Prestigious Volunteer Awards

Dean Prina, M.D. was recognized as a 7 Everyday Hero last night on KMGH-TV 7's newscast and tonight he will receive Metro Volunteers' Heart of Volunteerism award. We will post a link to the 7News piece as soon as it's available on our Facebook page.

He serves as a board member and development chair at JFS. Dr. Prina was one of the first non-Jewish board members and plays an integral role in planning and executing our annual fundraising events, Reel Hope and JFS Executive Luncheon.

Dr. Prina, a pediatrician at Partners in Pediatrics, is well-deserving of these awards as he has been involved with numerous nonprofit boards including The Denver Foundation, The Women's Foundation of Colorado, The Rose Community Foundation, The Chinook Fund, The Girl Scouts Mile High Council, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, The Denver Film Society, Colorado Public Radio, Judi's House, College Summit, the Lab for Art and Ideas at Belmar, Project PAVE, Metro Volunteers, and The Logan School.

We're proud that someone so well-known and active in the community has chosen to volunteer at our agency. Congratulations, Dr. Prina! We love your style and appreciate all that you do for JFS!!!
