Longtime Rotarian and community leader Emory Morsberger of Lilburn was presented the inaugural Rotary Peace & Unity Award at a special event Sept. 15 at the Hudgens Center for Art & Learning.
The Rotary Club of Gwinnett, together with fellow Rotary Clubs across the county and the Ismaili Council for the Southeastern United States, hosted the annual Peace & Unity event. The gathering coincided with the United Nations’ International Day of Peace and reflected Rotary International’s presidential theme, “Unite for Good.”
Morsberger’s award was presented by Rotary District 6910 Governor Jessica Fleetwood, who praised Morsberger’s service and humanitarian leadership.
Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Morsberger has spearheaded Helping Ukraine, a nonprofit that has delivered more than $5 million in aid to the country. He first traveled to Ukraine in June 2022 and has since dedicated his efforts to supporting those fighting for freedom and democracy.
