Major support capital for our worldwide works are raised through our financial benefactors, we return this kindness by conferring a Laurus Nobilis Award of The Caputo Historical Families Association. Our Council may recommend to our Association, people who have performed great service in support and shares our philanthropic works.

Awards and honors are given to people in recognition of service, achievement, excellence, good deeds, or for other reasons.

The Caputo Historical Families Association gives annual awards for outstanding work for the help given for Christian Sponsorship in third world countries, to institute the feeding of the poor and outstanding work to helping all in need. Be it education, to promote the work in Orphanages or helping supply clothing and food or medicine for people in countries that are in need.

It is the belief of the members of The Caputo Historical Families Association that all sponsors, "members or associates" should be substantially rewarded for  work done around the world in the name of the Association for humanitarian activities.

Recognizing that good works are carried out daily by individuals of all walks of life, and in order to foster charitable works, the Association honors members of the general public who render exceptional service to worthy causes, through the granting of the "Laurus Nobilis Award" of the Organization, which is awarded in one of three grades:   

These awards come as a certificate only and the respective Laurus Nobilis Award may be displayed by the holder on his website or wherever he thinks fit.

The Laurel Wreath

a. In ancient Greece, victorious athletes during the Olympics, which are held to this day, were crowned with a wreath made of laurel leaves. The Laurel Tree has associations with the Sun God, Apollo, and the tree is known as well for its medicinal virtues. While athletes are no longer given laurel wreathes, the laurel crown is identified with achieving victory, success, and excellence. Writers and poets who were given awards for their work were called Poet Laurettes, and still are to this day!  In ancient times, laurel crowns were a sign of victory. Kings wore them in addition to crowns of gold and a laurel wreath was awarded to a victor in battle or to those who excelled in their chosen field. Often used in the plural.

b. Honor and glory won for great achievement. Often used in the plural.

tr.v. lau·reled also lau·relled, lau·rel·ing also lau·rel·ling, lau·rels also lau·rels.

1. To crown with laurel.

2. To honor, especially with an award or a prize.
