Let’s show her some GWave love! 💙💚
Congratulations to Jackie Meeks '32, who has been selected as a finalist for WTKR News 3's Everyday Hero Humanitarian Award!
Jackie was first named as an Everyday Hero for her work as an ambassador for the annual Anthem LemonAid fundraiser. All proceeds benefit CHKD's Cancer & Blood Disorders Center, helping local children and families facing childhood cancer.
Now, Jackie is one of 12 Everyday Heroes being considered for the Humanitarian Award, which honors an Everyday Hero who has made a significant impact in our community. You can support Jackie by voting for her once a day through August 30 at wtkr.com/everydayhero2026. The winner of the Everyday Hero Humanitarian Award will be announced at WTKR's award ceremony later this year.
Best of luck to Jackie! We are so proud to see you recognized for the difference you are making in the lives of others!
