PFY Founder Jim Ross is a 2015 recipient of the Philanthropy in Action (PIA) Award. Given by the Fredericton Community Foundation, the PIA award honours members of the Greater Fredericton community who promote collective well-being by giving of their time, talent, and financial resources.
As a driving force in our city and province, Hon. Jim Ross has gone above and beyond for our organization more times than we could possibly count. Certainly PFY owes him a great debt. Given the extent to which we reach youth every year (over 1400 participants in our programs in 2015), the ripple effect of his generosity and leadership goes well beyond our walls.
The time, commitment, and compassion shown by people like Ross are a shining example of what we can do when we band together in pursuit of a common goal for the common good. We can think of no one more deserving of this wonderful honour.
