Dr. Donald B. Parks, Chair, The Philadelphia Award Trustees presided over the Philadelphia Award presented to Joan Myers Brown, Founder of Philadanco. The Philadelphia Award was founded in June 1921 by Edward W. Bok, who created a fund for this purpose: "A prize is conferred by the Philadelphia Award Trustees each year upon the man or woman living in Philadelphia, its suburbs or vicinity, who during the preceding year shall have performed or brought to culmination an act or contributed a service calculated to advance the best and largest interest of the community of which Philadelphia is the center." "Gerry" Lenfest was last year's recipient and Marian Anderson was the 2nd award recipient.
