TSU
graduate Hawkins receives ‘Heart of Gold’ Award
Troy State University graduate and reigning Miss Mobile
Kelly Hawkins recently received Volunteer Mobile’s “Heart
of Gold” award for Health and Welfare. The award was presented
at the organization’s 22nd annual awards luncheon, under the theme “Celebrate
Volunteers…The Spirit of America.”
Hawkins, a 2002 graduate of TSU with a bachelor’s degree
in English, was chosen from approximately 50 nominees for the award, marking
the first time a Miss Mobile representative has received the honor. She was nominated
for the award by Mobile’s Penelope House, a center that assists victims
of domestic violence and provides prevention education programs. Hawkins, who
will represent Mobile in the Miss Alabama Pageant in June, is playing a major
role in several child abuse prevention programs, including the proposal and adoption
of HB262: the Mandatory Clergy Reporting Bill.
She is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Jack Hawkins Jr. of Troy. |
