Rony Delgarde – Atlanta, GA
Known for his countless acts of community service and commitment to giving back, Rony founded Global Paint for Charity, a non-profit organization that collects leftover paint free of charge and instead of disposing into landfills, consolidates, ships and distributes the unwanted paint to families in developing countries around the world. To date, the organization has salvaged 80,000 gallons of paint for projects in Kenya, Haiti, Mexico, Honduras, Chile, Dominican Republic and Uganda.
Schanna Speight-Johnson – Jacksonville, FL
Over the past four years, Schanna has helped shape and redirect the lives of countless children and teens through her work with the Why Not Me Campaign, a non-profit organization with a mission to help children and teens reach their potential by fostering self-esteem, personal growth and dedication to their dreams. As a 10-year veteran in the U.S. Air Force, Schanna is driven by a responsibility to meet challenges head on and has managed the Why Not Me Campaign from concept to full operating status, while juggling the demanding job of a fulltime high school teacher.
Dobbie Herrion – St. Louis, MO
Dobbie is the founder and president of Neighborhood Nets, a non profit organization dedicated to empowering and educating youth basketball players so that if they fall short of their dreams of becoming NBA or WNBA all-stars, they’re still prepared to succeed off the court. Through small gestures of basketball net replacements, Dobbie hopes to inspire people to look for opportunities to make a difference before making a dollar and show today’s youth that it doesn’t take much time, effort or money to have a positive impact on your community.
