Three community leaders were recognized Tuesday night for dedicating their lives to serving others, making the world a better place and spreading live and compassion through continuous acts of kindness. The Lifetime Achievement Awards were presented during the 30th Annual Deen day Smith Service to Mankind Awards, an invitation-only soiree hosted by the Statesboro Herald and supported by numerous sponsors to thanks and recognize community members who work hard, without seeking compensation or reward, to make the lives of others better. Local businessman Bruce Yawn, who is a Deen Day Smith Service to Mankind Awards recipient and the 2011 Statesboro Herald Humanitarian of the Year, introduced the three 2018 Lifetime Achievement Award honorees, starting alphabetically.
