40th Don Carlos Humanitarian

Glynn Gilcrease

The Don Carlos Humanitarian Award honors individuals who have made Tempe a better place to live through impactful and lasting work that addresses human services in our city.  The award is Tempe’s most prestigious distinction. 

Long-time community leader Glynn Gilcrease was awarded the 40^th recipient of the Don Carlos Humanitarian Award.  Glynn was honored for his extensive commitment and efforts to advocate for and support youth and children in Tempe and beyond. He is a long-time Tempe resident who has given over 40 years service and leadership to the Boys and Girls Clubs organization.  His philanthropic efforts have supported Tempe Sister Cities’ international cultural programs and sponsored many youth in their international student exchange program.  As a Tempe South Rotarian he has given years of service to a variety of endeavors living out their motto “service above self.”  Glynn inspires and uplifts many through his doing whatever it takes for kids through his commitment care and never-ending service of others.
