Lodge, Carol Lee and Allen Lyons, Alissa and Kevin Maples, Hannah and Cal McNair, Sheridan and Robert Plumb, Millette and Haag Sherman, Christie and Mark Sullivan, Hallie Vanderhider, and Kelli and John Weinzierl.

Carol Lee and Allen Lyons received the Champion of Hope Award, and Carol Lee shared her experience with Bo’s Place programming for herself and her daughter Annie after the death of her husband.
