The Paul Van der Grift Servant Leadership Award

Paul Van Der Grift

This award honors former Board President of First Serve, Paul Van der Grift, who served our organization fully and wholeheartedly for many years. In his memory, we recognize a member of the community that serves others selflessly and acts as a genuine role model for those around them.

About Paul Van Der Grift

Paul was a long-time Palm Beach resident, film producer and director, mentor, and philanthropist. He devoted his time to many causes, but none were closer to his heart than First Serve. Equally dedicated to the success of our organization and the people within it, Paul is remembered as a steadfast leader and a loving, supportive mentor who saw a light in everyone. He worked tirelessly to make sure First Serve youth had the resources they needed to achieve their dreams.
