Dr. David Butts Award for Achievement in Overcoming Adversity

Dr. David Butts is a Charter Member of the Rotary Club of East Cobb, and has been a leader, mentor and inspiration to many over the years. Recently, David has faced the biggest challenge of his life with a medical diagnosis that would have knocked most of us down to stay. But David, with his characteristic dogged determination and relentlessly positive attitude, rose to the task. He has fought the good fight, and with the support of his amazing family, is beating the odds and winning the battles.

We at East Cobb Rotary are so inspired by David's shining example that we decided to establish an award in his name. The first ever Dr. David Butts Award for Achievement in Overcoming Adversity was awarded on October 7, 2015 to its namesake Dr. David Butts. In the future, we will present this award periodically to members of the East Cobb community who exemplify the kind of courage and perseverance embodied in the person of Dr. David Butts.
