Cox Recognizes Inspirational Students in Bibb County
Staff Report From Middle Georgia CEO
Wednesday, May 1st, 2019
Cox Communications hosted the fifth annual Cox Inspirational Student Hero Awards in Bibb County yesterday, at the Martin-Whitley Educational Complex on Riverside Drive. Cox recognized 34 students from Bibb County who have overcome extreme challenges in life to serve as an inspiration to their teachers, administrators and fellow students.
“These students have overcome so much in their young lives while maintaining positive attitudes and being a joy for those around them,” said Middle Georgia market vice president Bonnie Lopez-Crowe. “They deserve their time in the spotlight for being such an inspiration to us all.”
The Cox Inspirational Student Hero Awards program began over 25 years ago in New Orleans, Louisiana. The program has spread to other Cox markets in the Southeast Region. To date, Cox has recognized more than 3,500 students from Lafayette, Louisiana, to Gainesville, Florida.
The students were chosen by a committee of leaders at their school. During the event, Cox presented the students with an engraved medal and certificates of honor.
