Once one has been blessed with the momentary goods this life has to offer it’s often an inner call to action for many that are moved in spirit to help others. They became purveyors of helping others. Some go way beyond in the ‘The Art of helping others,’ Burt Reynolds is one of them. He personified this phase in his dramatic life.
Burt Reynolds was the first recipient of the Florida Music Awards Humanitarian Award in 2017. Florida Music Awards Hall of Fame Founder and Chairman Wayne Koss announced upon honoring him that the award would carry Mr. Reynolds’s name Much to his delight and the audience that rose to give the legend a standing ovation. The late Lee Tiger took the stage and began singing the Beatles “All You Need Is Love,” and this side of the world stopped for a moment and celebrated the joy of harmony that moments like this share.
“We are excited and proud that this award incorporates and exemplifies the great Mr. Reynolds. He provides a benchmark of great character, significant achievements, alongside the passionate sincere art of giving to others,” Koss added.
It will surely be a great honor to all future recipients with this award that bears the reverence of Burt’s philanthropy. We had expected him to be with the first honorees, yet unfortunately, he left us.
We are grateful to such fine Floridians on this list who have bestowed significant contributions of benevolent works in their home state of Florida and across the planet.
