This year there are 26 nominees in the male adult category and 6 in the youth category.
In addition to the Tiffany Outstanding Volunteer Awards, one of Boca Raton’s much-loved philanthropists, Martin Stein, will receive the 2012 Tiffany Lifetime Achievement award.

He is also a supporter of the Boca Raton Hospital Foundation, Boca Raton Museum of Art, Ruth Rales Jewish Family Services, Adolph & Rose Levis JCC and the Jewish Federation in Boca Raton.
The 2012 Tiffany “Biggest Heart” Award will be presented to Delray Beach resident, Abdol Moabery, president and CEO of GA Telesis. Moabery is being honored for donations to His House Children’s Home, Kids in Distress, Florence Fuller Child Development Centers, Food for the Poor, the ISTAT Foundation, the Factor Foundation and the March of Dimes, among others.
