On May 1, 1992 President Bush presented Michael Jackson with an award acknowledging him as a Point of Light Ambassador. The award was in recognition to Jacksons efforts in inviting disadvantage and under privliged kids to his ranch, as well as giving his time to visiting hospitals, orphanages, assisted living homes and hospices. in Jackson's speech he stated, "I believe each person can make a difference in the life of someone in need. That is what a point of light is."
It has now been in operation for 23 years.
