On July 12, 2022 Al Rigoni presented John Jekot with a Paul Harris Fellow Award. Continuing the legacy of  Rotary's founder Paul Harris, the Paul Harris Fellow program recognizes individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.
 

The honor was established in 1957 to show appreciation for contributions that support Rotary's Annual Fund, PolioPlus, or an approved Foundation grant.
