Mr. Anderson is no stranger when it comes to hard work, dedication, and being compassionate with your divorce. This ability stems from the endless amount of hours Mr. Anderson contributed by entertaining young people and adults who are chronically and/or terminally ill.
It was through a very popular, wonderful and caring non-profit organization (base in New York City) named Never Give Up, which afforded Mr. Anderson the opportunity to bring music, joy, smiles, and laughter into the lives of young people and adults who are hospitalized (as a result of their disability or illness) .
Mr. Anderson’s years of volunteer work and heartfelt services extends through "several" reputable and prominent non-profit organizations such as Hearts & Voices, LIFEBeat (The Music Industry Fights AIDS.), Children’s Hope Foundation, and the Starlight Foundation just to name a few.
Mr. Anderson’s countless amount of hours of dedication and compassion from the volunteer work he provided did not go unnoticed. In fact, Mr. Anderson was honored at City Hall.
Approximately 4,000 agencies and schools throughout New York City submitted nominations for the annual "outstanding volunteers" award (totaling 15,000 - 20,000 nominations received). Only 20 - 25 volunteers were chosen, and Mr. Anderson was one of the recipients to receive the prestigious award.
Mr. Anderson was presented (by the Mayor) with a Certificate of Recognition for “outstanding volunteer work that has helped others”, along with a luncheon and picture taking with the Mayor.
"That is what APS is all about, being Compassionate, Caring,
Giving, and at the end of the day, simply helping others!"
