The Gilbert J. Sullivan Distinguished Service Award, given by the Virginia Glee Club in memory of Gilbert J. "Gilly" Sullivan, is "bestowed … on an individual whose tireless efforts, selfless dedication, and continuing support have contributed in a significant way to the success of the Virginia Glee Club."[1] The award recognizes Sullivan's efforts to ensure the Virginia Glee Club's continued existence when it separated from the McIntire Department of Music in the late 1980s.
The Sullivan Awards have been given periodically since 2006 by the Virginia Glee Club Alumni and Friends Association.[2]
