It’s that time where the Dyess We Care Team celebrates the accomplishments of our volunteers, sponsors, and young leaders with the annual awards banquet. This year’s celebration was again held at the MCM Elegante Suites (proud sponsor of the WCT). Master of Ceremonies for the evening was Abilene Mayor Anthony Williams.
The highlight of the evening is recognizing the top ten volunteers of the year. Below are this year’s winners as well as the Star Supporters (business) and the volunteer squadron of the year. The awards were presented to this year’s winners by Colonel Brandon D. Parker, Commander of the 7th Bomb Wing and Colonel Jeffrey T. Menasco, Commander, 317th Airlift Wing. Congratulations to this year’s winners!
