Decatur man
wins national
service award
by Horace Holloman
horace@dekalbchamp.com
Theres an old saying that
no good deed goes unpunished. That didnt apply to Decatur
native Forrest Tuff, whose good deeds were met with praise and
admiration from the highest elected office in America.
Tuff recently received the Presidents Volunteer Service
Award/MLK (Martin Luther King) Drum Major for Service
Award for volunteering more than 500 service hours in a year. Forrest Tuff at an event with the American Heart Association
Tuff, who grew up in the Gresham Park area, said its
important to give back to the community any way you can.
Gresham Park was my stomping ground. I was really into
sports and the older guys in the area would teach us how to play.
Thats how I got my interest in the community, Tuff said. Im
an advocate for the community and I work a lot on economic
opportunity. I have donated more than 500 community service
hours with different organizations.
Tuff works with several different groups, but his main
focus is with the national service group SCOREa nonprofit
organization that gives free business advice and workshops to
individuals looking for business help.
Tuff has multiple years under his belt as a business owner.
With no formal training in videography, he created his own
production company.
We mentor aspiring business owners and young
entrepreneurs. A lot of people may not be familiar with the
organization, but it gives free business advice. Most of the
mentors are either retired business professionals or young
professionals like myself, Tuff said.
Tuff also gives his time to the American Heart Association
as an ambassador. He said his work with the AHA is personal
because in 2011 his brother died of a massive heart attack at the Forrest Tuff, a Decatur native, received the Presidents Volunteer Service Award/MLK (Martin Luther King) Drum Major for
age of 30. Service Award for volunteering more than 500 service hours in a year.
Thats something that stuck with me. My brother died at a
young age. That became a passion for me and I just stayed with
them doing different community events, Tuff said.
With all the activities Tuff is involved in, he said its sometimes
hard to balance it all considering hes the father of three girls. But
through community service, Tuff said he and his family are able
to bond.
Tuff is also a member of youthSparks, a group that raises
awareness to stop human sex trafficking in Georgia.
It works for me because I have three daughters. As far as
balancing the time, you have to balance how much time youre
going to spend. My daughters are heavily involved in community
service and thats the way we get to spend time together, Tuff
said.
Tuff said he doesnt plan on slowing down in the future.
He plans to increase his service hours by partnering with his
childhood friend Bobby Frazier.
Frazier and Tuff plan to create the 1911 Foundation to
help young adults in the DeKalb County area. Tuff said its his
relationship with Frazier that keeps him grounded in community
activism.
If you care about people, then you can make a stance to help
other people besides yourself. I was honored to be a part of that,
Tuff said.
