The Daytona Regional Chamber's Leadership Daytona Alumni Council presented a $500 donation to Westside Elementary School in Daytona Beach. The award was presented on the alumni council's behalf by Melinda Dawson, of Silversphere, who recently received the chamber's Marvin Samuels Leadership Award.
The award recognizes a past participant of the chamber's Leadership Daytona program for their outstanding volunteer efforts in the community. Dawson has been involved with the Museum of Arts and Sciences, Florida Hospital Memorial Foundation, Embassy of Hope and several other agencies.
The donation was made thanks to an endowment fund of the alumni council that is supported in part by the family of the late Marvin Samuels, a Daytona Beach area attorney who was well-known for his community involvement.
