IRB STAR AWARD

The IRB STAR award is designed to recognize an individual who passionately champions beautification and preservation of our small town and exemplifies the true nature of volunteerism. 

We awarded our first "Star" in 2019 and hope to make it an annual tradition. 

We received almost 40 nominations and every single entry was deserving of this award.  

We awarded the IRB Star Award at our 20th Anniversary Gala on May 1st, 2019.

Our inspiration for the IRB Star Award came from the work and dedication of an A2K Founder,

Ralph Montgomery. We awarded Ralph Montgomery with an honorary award for 2019. 

His wife, Phyllis Montgomery, accepted the award at our 20th Anniversary Gala.

2019 STAR AWARD

Congratulations to RB Johnson, the recipient of the 2019 Star Award.

RB Johnson has been out performing our A2K Mission before we even wrote it in 1999.

His family has lived in IRB since the 1930s. RB has been a long time board member and docent with the History Museum which is the original 1930s cottage that his family built.

 

"RB has dedicated his adult life to the values and small town feel of the City of Indian Rocks Beach.

He has dedicated thousands of hours of time without a lot of fan fair because of his love of the city."

- IRB City Manager, Gregg Mimms
