2006 Better Business Bureau Torch Award
The mission of the Better Business Bureau is to promote and foster the highest ethical relationships between businesses and the public through voluntary self-regulation, consumer and business education, and service excellence.

The Torch Award was created to honor businesses that best exhibit the BBB mission for the communities in which they operate. In 2006 College Bound Movers received this award for its exceptional customer service and commitment to providing the highest quality moving service.

2006 Paul Harris Fellow 
The Paul Harris Fellowship was created in memory of the founder of Rotary International to show appreciation to an individual for his or her contributions to the organization's charitable and educational programs.  Every Paul Harris Fellow receives a pin, medallion and a certificate. These identify the recipient as an advocate of the organization's goals of world peace and international understanding.

2005 Award for Excellence
