In recognition of the outstanding service and contributions of "Friends For Life" volunteers, Carolina Donor Services grants three annual awards in the Fall.

I. Charles Jeffries Volunteer of the Year Award
The Charles Jeffries Award honors the memory of Charles W. Jeffries who served on the CDS board, chaired the CDS Public Education Committee, and dedicated his life to educating the public on the benefits of organ and tissue donation.

Three Charles Jeffries Awards are presented each fall: one in each of the Eastern, Central, and Western regions of North Carolina. Nominations are reviewed by a selection committee and are considered on the basis of volunteer passion, commitment, and dedication. Fellow volunteers and CDS staff may make nominations.

II. Team Leader Award
One Team Leader Award is presented for each of the CDS service regions. Outstanding team leaders are recognized for their work and dedication in organizing and motivating their teams to promote the mission of Carolina Donor Services. Volunteers and CDS staff may make team leader of the year award nominations.

III. Special Achievement Award
A Special Achievement Award may be presented to a volunteer who makes a special contribution to save lives through organ and tissue donation. Through special events or activities, these individuals go beyond the typical call of duty. Volunteers and CDS staff may make nominations.
