Palm Coast resident Ralph Lightfoot was presented with the Pacesetter Award at the Hosts of Palm Coast Spring Gala, held at the Lake Mary Marriott on May 5.
Jim Griffin, chairperson of the Hosts of Palm Coast Awards Committee, said Lightfoot was selected for this honor because of his many years of selfless service to the Palm Coast community.
In addition to his tireless efforts on behalf of Flagler County Democratic politics, the Flagler County Mosquito commissioner has also been a dedicated volunteer with the African American Mentoring Program, the NAACP, and the Democratic Black Caucus. Mr. Lightfoot also chaired the Flagler Palm Coast High School Parents Booster Club, and he conducted high school equivalency classes at the Carver Gym in Bunnell, where he also provided the necessary books and materials for those classes.
He currently provides computer technology services for the African American Cultural Society at no charge. These are just a few of the many organizations that have benefited from Mr. Lightfoot’s dedication to the Palm Coast community.
The Hosts of Palm Coast Awards Committee sought to honor someone who exemplified good citizenship, enriched the lives of others, showed ongoing initiative and devoted themselves to selfless service. Pacesetter Award honoree Ralph Lightfoot possesses all of these attributes and more.
