Huggins honored as one of three national finalists for the Invest in Others Lifetime Achievement Award at the 20th annual gala in Boston.
September 30, 2026, Harrisonburg, VA - Boys & Girls Clubs of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County (BGCHR) has received a $25,000 grant from the Invest in Others Charitable Foundation in honor of Andy Huggins of The Myrias Group | Ameriprise Financial. Huggins was one of three national finalists for the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2026 Invest in Others Awards, recognizing his 30 years of volunteer service to BGCHR. He was honored at the 20th annual Invest in Others Awards Gala on September 17, 2026, at the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport.
The Invest in Others Awards celebrate financial advisors who use their time, talent, and resources to make a lasting difference in the lives of others. The Lifetime Achievement Award is presented to an advisor who has made a profound contribution to a nonprofit organization through at least 20 years of distinguished service, leadership, and lasting impact. The other Lifetime Achievement finalists were Kelly Castleberry of Graystone Consulting from Morgan Stanley in Charleston, West Virginia, and Michael Skrynecki of Skrynecki Financial Planning Group of Raymond James in Atlanta. The award went to Skrynecki for his work with the Wiskott-Aldrich Foundation.
Sandra Quigg, BGCHR CEO, joined Huggins at the gala, which brought together financial advisors, nonprofit leaders, financial services professionals, and supporters from across the country. The evening gave BGCHR the chance to share its mission and to tell a national audience about the youth and families our Clubs serve in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County.
Huggins has served on the BGCHR board since the organization started in 1995, including three terms as Board President. He founded Big Night, the Club's annual gala, and the Quarter Century Club for major donors. During COVID, he led a task force that raised over $218,500 in less than six months so Clubs could stay open for families. In total, he has helped raise more than $1.5 million, as BGCHR grew from one Club serving 20 youth to seven Clubs serving nearly 700 youth each year.
Huggins grew up at the Girls Club in Bowling Green, Kentucky, where his mother served as board president. "When founding member Larry Rogers asked me to join the board, he said, 'it's for the kids.' Those words became my conviction," said Huggins.
"Andy's spirit of giving and leadership built the foundation which allows our Clubs to continue to serve more and more youth and families in our community," said CEO Sandra Quigg.
