This Sunday the Benjamin Barnes YMCA begins its Youth First Campaign. The organization would normally hold a kickoff at Elizabeth Baptist Church, but amid pandemic concerns, the events have been altered to being virtual experiences.
Mayor Maddox is set to present awards to a number of notable community leaders with awards for their service to the Barnes YMCA.
Among the honorees are Mr. Mason Bonner, who is receiving a Lifetime of Service Award.
Listen to this interview to hear why this is so befitting.
Anyone who has come into contact with Mr. Bonner has heard of the wonderful things going on at the Barnes YMCA, and this didn t just begin. Mr. Bonner has been a supporter of the Barnes YMCA for numerous decades. His involvement has been a major contribution to youth athletics and community involvement.
