The Salvation Army of Metro Detroit recently paid tribute to area businesses and individuals for their work and effort on behalf of the nonprofit.
During the awards dinner at the Detroit Athletic Club, longtime Metro Detroit Advisory Board member Jeffrey M. Sangster received the nonprofit’s highest honor, the William Booth Award.
Sangster was honored for being a true advocate for local youth, the disadvantaged and the metro Detroit community as well as his leadership as Harbor Light Advisory Council chair throughout the years.
Sangster joined the advisory board in 2008 and has served The Salvation Army for more than 37 years. He has been instrumental in fundraising as the driving force behind The Salvation Army Outdoors initiative that provides opportunities for kids of all ages to learn new skills, explore creation and experience adventures.
The William Booth Award, named after The Salvation Army’s founder, is the highest award the nonprofit bestows on an individual.
Recipients are chosen for their dedication to The Salvation Army’s goal of service; outstanding service to the community through donation of time, expertise and energy; outstanding humanitarian effort within the community and substantial contributions to the work of The Salvation Army in offering time, talent and resources.
