Commissioners congratulate Blake Robinovitz
upon earning Congressional civilian award

FREEHOLD, NJ – The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners recognized Colts Neck High School student Blake Robinovitz for being named a recipient of a Congressional Award Gold Medal during the Commissioner Workshop Meeting on Aug. 28.

“On behalf of the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners, we congratulate Blake for being named a recipient of a Congressional Award Gold Medal,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “The Congressional Award challenges young people in four key areas: public service, personal development, fitness and exploration. Blake has successfully completed more than 650 hours of volunteer service, 200 hours dedicated to personal development and 200 hours focused on physical fitness.”

According to the Congressional Award website, Congress established the award in 1979 to recognize initiative, service and achievement in young people. It began as a bipartisan effort in the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives. The award is Congress’ highest honor for civilian youth.

“Blake is a highly motivated student who has taken on numerous leadership roles, including serving as a Lieutenant Junior Grade in NJROTC, Captain in the Marlboro Police Cadets, President of the Colts Neck High School Superintendent Executive Advisory Board and Vice President of the National Honor Society,” said Commissioner Director Arnone. “My fellow Commissioners and I wish Blake success in his future endeavors and are excited to see what he accomplishes next.”
