We
are fortunate to have many among us who have provided inspirational
leadership and given of themselves to better our community.
In honor of these Lubbock heroes, the Lubbock Area Foundation
hosts its Annual Hero's Luncheon to recognize their accomplishments.
Over
the span of many years, we in
Lubbock
and the South Plains region have admired the tireless
devotion that Karin
McCay and Abner Euresti
have brought to broadcast journalism.
They
have earned a indisputable reputation for integrity and
trustworthiness.
We applaud their
career accomplishments and their
dedication
to local charitable causes
such as the Children's Miracle Network. On
April 1, 2008, the Foundation hosted its
10th Annual
Hero’s Luncheon. Friends and supporters
gathered at the UMC McInturff Center to honor
and acknowledge the
significant
contributions that Karin McCay and Abner Euresti have made to our
community.
The
Hero’s Luncheon has two distinct purposes:
-
To
honor Karin & Abner for their accomplishments
and acknowledge their initiative and leadership
which have brought significant benefits to the
Lubbock
area; and
-
To
establish a permanent endowment at the Lubbock Area
Foundation for a charitable purpose designated by
them.
In
view of their outstanding leadership,
never-say-never spirit and longstanding commitment to
community, the Lubbock Area Foundation believes Karin
McCay and Abner Euresti exemplify the spirit of the
Hero’s Award. Karin
and Abner have designated the Karin McKay &
Abner Euresti Endowment for the benefit of the Children's
Hospital at UMC.
