Inspirational Student Hero Awards Presented

May 11, 2019

The annual Cox Inspirational Student Hero Awards were presented to 52 Escambia County students.

“These students have overcome so much in their young lives while maintaining positive attitudes and being a joy for those around them,” said Gulf Coast Market vice president David Deliman.  “They deserve their time in the spotlight for being such an inspiration to us all.”

The students were chosen by a committee of leaders at their school, due to their resilience in the face of adversity.  Whether they have overcome a loss of a family member, medical issue, difficult family situation or other hardship, they did so with a smile on their face and continued to encourage and inspire others around them.

During the event, Cox presented the students with a personalized engraved medallion and certificates of honor.  The students were also presented with certificates of achievement from Congressman Matt Gaetz and State Senator Doug Broxson.
