Country artist and author Jimmy Wayne was honored with the Points of Light Award for his work raising awareness for youth in foster care. Prior to receiving the honor from Neil Bush, Wayne met with President George H.W. Bush, the founder of Points of Light, at the Bush family home at Walker’s Point in Kennebunkport, Maine.

Wayne said, “No one should receive an award for helping kids; it’s what we’re all supposed to do and not expect anything in return. But what do you do with an award that’s been given to you? Use it to raise awareness for more foster youth. It was an honor for me to meet the President of the United States, and to do that in his living room made it even more special. The shoreline leading to his driveway and his home were indeed beautiful, but what impressed me most was how humble he was.”
