The Corporate Philanthropy Alliance (CPA) is delighted to announce Amberly Martin as the esteemed recipient of the 2022 Corporate Philanthropy Excellence Award. This prestigious accolade honors individuals who have demonstrated an unyielding commitment to business volunteerism and community service, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of others.
Amberly Martin's remarkable journey towards this award is a testament to her unwavering dedication to philanthropy. In her earlier years, she worked diligently to create exceptional bachelor packages for the March of Dimes Bachelor Auction. Her creativity and tireless efforts were evident even before she reached the legal drinking age, making her an invaluable asset to the organization.
Her impact extended further when she conceived, founded, and operated a Lawyer for the Arts program while living in Indianapolis. This initiative provided legal support and guidance to artists and creators, bridging the gap between the legal and artistic worlds. Amberly's commitment to nurturing creativity and protecting artists' rights was truly commendable.
Amberly's involvement with Wheeler Mission in Indianapolis exemplifies her passion for helping others. The residents of Wheeler Mission were profoundly appreciative of her contributions, culminating in the presentation of a special hat from their "Life with a Purpose" (LWP) program. This honor is traditionally reserved for program participants who have achieved significant milestones in their journey toward self-improvement and spiritual growth, underscoring the profound impact of Amberly's involvement.
Her dedication to community service extends across various fronts, including her invaluable work with VITA tax programs and CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). In addition, Amberly actively participates as the County Vice Chair and her County's representative with the AR Democrats, contributing her skills and passion to support her community at the political level.
Amberly's commitment to giving back to her community and her dedication to a diverse range of causes reflect the true spirit of corporate philanthropy. Her journey serves as a powerful testament that success is not solely defined by personal achievements but by the lasting positive impact we leave on our communities.
"We are thrilled to honor Amberly Martin with the Corporate Philanthropy Excellence Award for her outstanding dedication to making the world a better place," said Glenda Freeman, spokesperson for CPA. "Her journey is an inspiring testament to the profound influence one person can have on the lives of many. We believe her story will inspire others to embark on their paths of purposeful giving."
