A Ridgefield teen is among the youths being honored for community service.

The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards is a nationwide program honoring young people for outstanding acts of volunteerism.  The program is in its 19th year and is conducted in part by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. 

Among the four Distinguished Finalists earning an engraved bronze medallion is 18-year old Michael Rosamilia of Ridgefield.  The Ridgefield High School senior raised more than $75,000 to benefit the Ridgefield Playhouse through five years of benefit concerts. 

The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards is America's largest youth recognition program based solely on volunteer service.
