In
every generation there are heroes who carry forward the vision and
values of those who settled this land. We are pleased to
honor Gary Lawrence - a true Lubbock hero and champion
of our way of life, as the 2010 Hero of the Year.
When selecting honorees for the Hero's Luncheon, we
look to those whose initiative and accomplishments have brought
significant benefits to Lubbock and the South Plains area. We
believe that Gary Lawrence exemplifies the spirit of the Hero's
Award. On Monday, November 15, 2010, over 300
people joined the Lubbock Area Foundation to honor the contributions
that Gary Lawrence has made to this community over the years (click
to see the 2010
Hero's Luncheon Program). Their generous donations
have established a permanent endowment at the Lubbock Area
Foundation for the charitable purposes of his choosing. Thank
you to all who share our assessment of Gary.
