Saturday’s celebration inaugurates a new tradition with the presentation of the first “Robert B. and Joan H. Parker Compassionate Action Award”. Through the award, Parker seeks to honor his parents’ legacy as politically motivated philanthropists who combined a love of dance and theater with a passion for social justice in their charitable works. The first award will honor Stanley N. Griffith. According to Parker, “Stan has been a champion for civil and LGBTQ rights, fair and affordable housing and efforts that raise up the human spirit. My parents loved and admired him for his steadfast commitment to our greater good, and his continued efforts make him well deserving of this recognition in their memory.”
