The Jim and Patty Rouse award is given to individuals who have provided outstanding service to Jubilee Support Alliance and Jubilee Housing. The award is named after two original founders and longtime supporters of Jubilee, Jim and Patty Rouse.

This year the Jim and Patty Rouse Award was given to Jane Galbraith Mahaffie for her dedication to Jubilee and its mission, her contributions extend over more than 20 years. 

Over the years, Jane has raised substantial financial support and awareness for Jubilee and has encouraged companies as well as individuals to support Jubilee's efforts. Jane has served on the Jubilee Support Alliance board and as President in 2001-2002. She continues to lend her expertise as a member of the Council of Advisors and is working directly with Jubilee Housing on the current Jubilee renovation project.

Jane's commitment to Jubilee is a family affair. The Mahaffie family, known as Team Mahaffie, has contributed countless hours of painting, landscaping and other improvements in support of the annual Jubilee Work Day. Additionally, they are consistent supporters of other JSA events, including adopting several Jubilee families and volunteering at the Elf Store each Christmas.

JSA is proud to honor Jane with the Jim and Patty Rouse Award, she is an inspiration to the JSA board and the Washington business community.

The Jubilee Support Alliance was proud to present the 2008 Corporate Community Service Award to PNC Bank in recognition of its substantial contributions and support of Jubilee.

PNC's continued investment in Jubilee Housing and leading role in the revovation process are excellent examples of its commitment to the community. The bank's innovative financing for the Ontario project, its equity participation on the Jubilee II project, as well as its corporate commitment to helping Jubilee succeed in its programs for residents is an example of its investment in the greater community.

In addition to using financing products for successful community development, PNC also has committed substantially to our nation's youngest children through its Grow Up Great initiative, a nation wide investment in early childhood development. Jubilee Housing and partner Jubilee JumpStart enjoy the support of this initiative as well!

THe Jubilee Support Alliance commends PNC Bank for their commitment and dedication to community improvement.
