This sculpture features a heart in made of bronze and is finished with bronze on the outer edges, while on the inside it is furnished with a rose-colored marble. The design was created by the artist Bob Bennett, and depicts the gracious giving from a person’s heart without question.

For those who are involved in organizations and give to others with love and without thought to do otherwise, they need to be recognized and awarded. When others see that these people are being honored, it might be a way of encouragement to them as well, and what harm could come from that? When others are awarded for doing great and wonderful things, it does not just affect them. It reaches to those who need the inspiration to help and do more with their lives.

With “Heart of Fire,” it should be personalized with a special engraving just for that person. It should include a nice inscription to the person, as well as their name and the date that the award is being given. The recipient of this award will be very proud to have this to show for all of their hard work and their caring acts of kindness. Honor someone you know with a heart of gold with “Hearts of Fire.”
