Mr. Holbrook has exceeded the 72 hours yearly that the Pfizer Volunteer Program requires, and he may qualify every year as long as he complies with the minimum volunteer hours required through his continued service as a volunteer at the Collier County Museum. The funds received will be used to enhance volunteer recognition. FISCAL IMPACT: The Pfizer Volunteer Donation is an addition to the existing Museum budget and will require a budget amendment.
