The H. Richard Brew Volunteer Service Award was instituted in 2005 as a way to honor the 35 years of volunteer service to the Central Connecticut Coast YMCA association provided by H. Richard Brew. While given upon his retirement from the Association Board of Directors, it is intended that his legacy be honored in subsequent years by presenting this award to volunteers who have demonstrated character, commitment and long-term dedication to the YMCA.
Hodge began his YMCA involvement when he was recruited by Rae Sharp, former Executive Director of the Ralphola Taylor Community Center YMCA in Bridgeport, to serve on the board in 2005. Through the years he has supported the work of the Center, led it through transitions and served not only as the chairman of the Board for six years but also as its representative on the Association’s Board of Directors. He has been a strong advocate for youth and for encouraging other adults to invest their time, talent and treasures into strengthening the foundations of the community, especially the East End of Bridgeport.
