On March 26, 2003, TNA's Support Group Leaders were officially named the "Daily Points of Light"  by the Points of Light Foundation, which was organized to recognize exceptional volunteerism.  Our Support Group Leaders were nominated as a group for their outstanding efforts in volunteering to help fellow trigeminal neuralgia and facial pain sufferers find answers for their pain.  

The award was presented by Michele Dix, Executive Director of the Volunteer Center of Alachua County and was received by Beth Heitman, TNA Support Group Coordinator and Michael Pasternak, Member of TNA's Board of Directors.  Along with this distinguished award, letters of commendation were received from President and Mrs. Bush, and the former President Bush thanking them for their efforts.
