The Unsung Heroes Awards 30th Anniversary

Congratulations to Benny Moore and wife Beverly on the 30th Anniversary of the Unsung Heroes Awards.

What started with a ceremony in the St. Augustine College Student Union when Benny was a radio personality at WAUG in 1993 has flourished to a capacity crowd of 430 attendees at the Marriott Hotel. Benny has garnered the respect and attention of area churches and organizations as they partner to honor members and laborers in the kingdom who spend their time unselfishly to make this world a better place.

In 2010, I was the recipient of Business Person of the Year. It’s always a surprise, and honorees are not told in advance.

Following is a list of this year’s honorees whose emotions ran from delight to surprise to tears. To learn more about this organization or to get involved, visit www. unsungheroesbanquet.com.
