THE EVENT NAMESAKE, TIM STEVENS, PRESENTS THE AWARD TO LONGTIME B-PEP COMMUNITY LEADER LORRAINE COOK ALONG WITH B-PEP’S WILLIAM ANDERSON.
“The 50th” Annual Pittsburgh and Allegheny County Tim Stevens Public Service Awards did not disappoint a few weeks back on Nov. 16 as Achieving Greatness Inc., honored those very special people who run into the fire, not away from it.
The program was re-identified last year under the new namesake of Tim Stevens, the President of B-PEP, the Black Political Empowerment Project. Stevens was also the longtime president of the Pittsburgh NAACP. The program is calling attention to the hard work and sacrifices Mr. Stevens has made for the Pittsburgh and Western Pa. communities for more than “50” years.
It’s not overstated when the lead expression for the event is, “HEROES MAKE THE SUN COME UP IN THE MORNING…AND HEROES MAKE THE MOON SHINE BRIGHT AT NIGHT!!!” Thus, those honored epitomize what it means and what it takes to be a hero…a leader, a teacher, a veteran, a lifesaver and so much more. We proudly recognize you and salute you for not being part of the problem…but part of the solution!
When you combine that much greatness with one of Pittsburgh’s all-time greatest athletes, four-time Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl Champion, Randy Grossman, the superior power, grace and support of our guest host, the Plum American Legion Post 980, and of course the all-world sponsorship of Steelers Super Bowl Champion, Judge Dwayne Woodruff, Briggs Transport Company, UPMC, Frank Fuhrer Wholesale Company, Pittsburgh Regional Transit, Goodrich and Geist law firm, Diversified Municipal Services and Goodrich and Associates, it takes a collective effort from all those concerned to shine a light on all of our heroes.
