Preston Hollow businessman and philanthropist, Randy Bowman will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at VolunteerNow’s Heart of Texas Luncheon in April.
The luncheon, scheduled for April 18 at noon, will be preceded by a reception at 11:30 a.m. For over 17 years, the event has celebrated volunteerism and awarded notable community leaders with the Lifetime Achievement Award with past honorees including the late Ruth Altshuler, Lyda Hill, Erle Nye, Roger Staubach and former First Lady Laura Bush.
VolunteerNow, one of the nation’s largest volunteer centers, with thousands of volunteers to support over 4,200 nonprofit organizations. The event coincides with National Volunteer Month in April.
This year’s recipient, Preston Hollow resident Randy Bowman, is recognized for his achievements as a businessman, nonprofit founder and philanthropist.
“Every year at Hearts of Texas, we bring together people with BIG hearts doing BIG good in the BIG D and beyond,” VolunteerNow CEO, Rachel Currie Triska, said. “This year, we look forward to celebrating Randy’s outstanding achievements, and Community Partners of Dallas and Lewisville ISD for the exceptional work they and their volunteers do every day.”
Bowman, co-founder and president of MW Logistics for the past 17 years, has made significant contributions to the Dallas community, serving on the boards of the Parkland Foundation, Employee Retirement Fund of the City of Dallas, and Impact Dallas Capital. In 2021, he launched AT LAST!, a weekday urban boarding experience providing educational resources to children in poverty.
“I’m honored to be receiving this prestigious award and thankful to VolunteerNow for it,” Bowman said. “My mother taught me that education is the key to a better life. I seek to honor her and the sacrifices she made to enable me to have this adult life.”
VolunteerNow will also present the Ruth Collins Sharp Altshuler Award for Volunteer of the Year to Community Partners of Dallas.
