Sayle joined Prudential Chairman Art Ryan in congratulating award winner Hillary Hughes at the 2006 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards in Washington, DC.

Created in 1995 by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals, the awards constitute the United States' largest youth recognition program based solely on volunteering. Over the past 11 years, the program has honored more than 70,000 young volunteers at the local, state and national level.
