The Bishop John T. Walker Distinguished Humanitarian Service Award (BWD or Bishop Walker Dinner) is an award presented annually by Africare to recognize those whose work has made a significant impact on raising the standard of living in Africa.
The award is named after John T. Walker, former Episcopal Bishop of Washington, D.C., and Africare board member.
This is the largest annual event for Africa in the United States, with proceeds supporting the work of Africare.
The Dinner is a top multicultural affair as well, embracing all races and a wide array of cultures and nationalities from around the world.
At BWD 2006, held on October 18, Africare presented the Bishop John T. Walker Distinguished Humanitarian Service Award to former President Clinton for his outstanding contributions to peace, justice, and economic opportunity worldwide.
