Celebration of excellence

Nova Southeastern University honored automotive magnates and philanthropists Rita and Rick Case its 2019 President’s Award for Excellence in Community Service Award. Each year, NSU honors an individual, group or family whose benevolent work helps make the community a better place at its annual Celebration of Excellence. This year’s honorees had founded the Rita and Rick Case Endowed Scholarship, which provides undergraduate colleges students and former members of the Boys & Girls Clubs funds to go to college. “While most people may think that Rita and my greatest joy is selling cars that is not the case,” said Rick Case.  “Our greatest joy is giving people opportunities—especially children—and we have donated and raised millions of dollars to make that happen.”
