6/26/2012 Celebrating Achievements at the Children's Awards Banquet

At the 26th Annual Children's Awards Banquet, held at St. Francis Church, we honored our children for all that they have accomplished in the past year. From winning debate tournaments to learning to swim, our kids have been growing by leaps and bounds, achieving things they never thought possible!  Thanks to everyone who joined us to celebrate "Growing Up!"

We would also like to thank the evening's sponsors, the Cypress Belles Chapter of the National Charity League, which provided beautiful decorations and wonderful volunteers who served our guests, and St. Francis Episcopal Church, which provided the evening's dinner, along with servers and the venue.  The night would not have been possible without you!

 And the Winners Are...

Gerry Lyon Memorial Award

Gerry Lyon was a former resident at Boys and Girls Country who overcame obstacles that might seem impossible to others. All the time he maintained a positive attitude and outlook on life. Gerry was a friendly, hard working young man. His life was cut short in an automobile accident the summer after he graduated from Waller High School.

The Gerry Lyon Memorial Award is given each year in his memory to a current resident who has overcome hardship, maintained a positive attitude, and is sincerely grateful for the opportunities he or she has had at Boys and Girls Country. 

This year's Gerry Lyon Memorial Award went to Harley H.!



Congratulations, Harley!
