Here are some of the comments about Maldonado by those nominating him for the award:

"Continuous community service and events hosted by himself and his barbershop, Presidential Barbershop, We Got Your Back, and the Christmas toy drive he hosted, to name a few. He is an amazing force for our community and those that need it the most."
"Created “We Got Your Back,” which provides free clothes, haircuts, backpacks, and school supplies to children in need before the school year begins. Also, gave away over 10,000 in presents for underprivileged families in Cheyenne this year."
"He does so much service for Cheyenne; he runs We Got Your Back to give backpacks, school supplies, and haircuts for hundreds of kids each school year, and just started the Christmas portion of it for toys, clothes, and haircuts for kids who need to at Christmas time. He gives everything in the organization to the community and doesn’t make any money off of it. He truly cares."
