Overview THE 11ALIVE COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARDS HISTORY The 11Alive Community Service Awards began in 1975 as a way to annually honor persons who had contributed significantly to their communities. The program honors 11 unsung heroes, volunteers each year. At that time, the Community Service Awards was the only event of its kind. In addition to honoring outstanding volunteers, the program salutes charities in the community by making them the beneficiaries of the proceeds of the dinner each year. A list of past non-profit partner beneficiaries is included. The Boisfeuillet Jones Award honors outstanding citizens who embody community service. Past honorees include The Honorable Andrew Young, Mrs. Ivan Allen, Jr., Truett Cathy, Ted Turner, Rabbi Alvin Sugarman, Lovette Twyman Russell, Bernard Marcus and Julius Erving.
