Golden Apple Foundation Stanley C. Golder Community Service Award Presented to John and Martha Mabie
(Chicago - May 31, 2003) — While a major part of Golden Apple's mission is to honor outstanding educators, we feel that it is similarly important to recognize those who have a profound impact on our community through their charitable service and philanthropic generosity. Golden Apple annually presents the Stanley C. Golder Community Service Award to an individual, corporation, or foundation that perpetuates the vision of Stan Golder, one of the Golden Apple Foundation's most loyal advocates. Recipients of the Award have demonstrated a deep belief in the Foundation's mission and the Chicago community through their generosity and support.
It is Golden Apple's distinct pleasure to present the 2003 Stanley C. Golder Community Service Award to John and Martha Mabie of Winnetka, IL. For years, John and Martha have supported numerous not-for-profit organizations in the Chicago area.
