Modern Woodmen of America Representatives Kathie Seckel and Roger Ruth present Hometown Hero Award to Kenny Spafford (center).
Marion resident Kenny Spafford was recently recognized for countless hours of service to the community during a Modern Woodmen of America member event on March 23, 2016.
Spafford was honored through Modern Woodmen’s Hometown Hero Program for his volunteer efforts as a faithful supporter of countless charities including, the March of Dimes, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and Special Olympics of Ohio, just to name a few. Spafford never backs away from supporting things that are important to him and he is great at rallying support from others. Spafford has also been a volunteer for the Marion County Board of Elections, Marion Relay for Life & The Marion Palace Theatre. Spafford can often be seen picking up litter on his daily walks all over Marion County.
As part of the Hometown Hero Program, members of the Marion Modern Woodmen Chapter 7954 presented Spafford with a certificate and a $100.00 award grant to be donated to the charitable organization of the honoree’s choice. Spafford selected the Miss Ohio Scholarship Program, Inc. to receive the donation.
“Volunteers form the foundation of a strong community,” says Jeff Reed, local Modern Woodmen volunteer leader. “Modern Woodmen’s Hometown Hero Program gives us the chance to thank those who selflessly give their time to make the world a better place.”
Coordinated by local Modern Woodmen members, the fraternal financial services organization’s Summit chapters, chapters and youth service clubs provide opportunities for members to take part in social and educational activities and volunteer projects to meet local needs.
