Nominee Name:  David Daggett
Nominator Name:  Piedmont Down Syndrome Support Network
Nominee's outstanding commitment:  I personally know of no greater volunteer in this community or beyond than David Daggett. He is driven by an unmatched altruism and a commitment to others. He is a well-known attorney in our community, but I believe that few people truly appreciate the selflessness with which he approaches volunteerism. He has founded and grown the Safe Sober Prom Night campaign in our community which has touched thousands of youths in our area over the years and has volunteered his time to countless road races. However, I’m nominating David primarily for his work with the Piedmont Down Syndrome Support Network.
Nominee's outstanding accomplishments:  Three years ago, I asked David if he would serve as master of ceremonies for an upcoming 5k, the 3-2-1 Deacon Dash for Down syndrome supporting the PDSSN. He not only agreed to serve as emcee, but he has since completely devoted himself to our organization and to our cause. Over the past three years, in countless ways, David has promoted the values of awareness, acceptance, and inclusion for people with Down syndrome with a passion and a consistent commitment which has proven extraordinary. He now serves as master of ceremonies for all of our events throughout the year, most notably our Deacon Dash for Down Syndrome and our Buddy Walk. These events raise tens of thousands of dollars for our organization and touch the lives of thousands of people in our community. David’s energy and compassion bring a priceless value to these events and to our organization. It is impossible to estimate the degree to which he has elevated the profile of our cause in the past three years.
In addition to being the face of our organization, David has donated his name and his platform consistently to promote our ideals of acceptance and inclusion. Specifically, he continuously employs his avenues of social media and traditional media contacts to espouse the mission of the PDSSN. He has also regularly volunteered his Triad Today television segment to promote the PDSSN organization and events.
Nominee's special skills/qualities:  David has not only volunteered extensively with his time and his voice, he also has given to our organization by way of donations. To all of our PDSSN events, David has donated extensively whatever items we may need, including signage, banners, audio/visual equipment, water bottles, etc. He consistently offers up his resources to help fill any gaps that might arise in our events.
Most importantly, David’s biggest contributions to our organization are his unique set of personal qualities and skills that make him an unparalleled volunteer leader. David approaches everything he does (family, law, Ironmans, Safe Sober prom, volunteerism) with an extraordinarily consistent commitment to excellence. He is a selfless, altruistic, and relentless volunteer leader in our community. His personal characteristics have earned him a loud megaphone, and we at the PDSSN are fortunate he has devoted that megaphone so completely to spreading a message of acceptance and inclusion to all people with Down syndrome.
