The Laurel Awards recognize leaders that contribute to the quality of the cultural community of Vero Beach in the areas of business, philanthropy, professionalism and volunteerism.

The particular award Mr. Gibb received is the Carolyn K. Eggert Award. This award is given to individuals who have made long-term, noteworthy contributions of both money and time to the wider cultural community. It is not awarded every year, and only at the discretion of the selection committee.

Cultural Council board member Mary Schenkel, who submitted Bob’s name as a candidate for this award said, “You’d be hard-pressed to find a non-profit organization that Bob has not supported or touched in some positive manner in Vero Beach and he throws himself whole-heartedly into everything he does for this community.”
