In 1960, the word went forth to the world that the torch of freedom had passed to a new generation. President John F. Kennedy reignited that torch’s flame by calling that generation to better their communities and dedicate themselves to the service of others. The President’s words ring as true today as when he declared, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”

John Kennedy challenged America to be its best—to reach deep within ourselves and far beyond our imagination to exemplify the highest ideals in our evolving society every day. JFK called upon Americans to serve in a cause greater than themselves, challenging us to go to the moon, to the Peace Corps, to college. He challenged us to change our world.

Proceeds from the JFK Community Service Award dinner benefit the charitable programs offered at SFFLC, a nonprofit health and wellness center serving under-resourced youth and people with disabilities located in Oklahoma City​​.

The Mark Ruffin Lifetime Achievement Award is a special honor recognizing those individuals whose philanthropy has been especially profound over their lifetime. Mark Ruffin, a 2018 John F. Kennedy Community Service Award Honoree, was an ardent fan and vocal supporter of the Santa Fe Family Life Center. Whether for SFFLC or numerous other charitable causes, Mark gave his time and treasure generously to the community each day during his life.
