The City of Longview Partners in Prevention’s Unity and Diversity Committee announces Mrs. Amanda Veasy and Mr. Clent Holmes as the 2023 Unity Honors recipients.  The Unity Honors is a lifetime achievement award recognizing residents who have demonstrated leadership in promoting unity, mutual understanding, and social justice.

A special recognition award will be presented to the Greater Longview United Way, which provides nonprofit organizations with funding through community giving. United Way has implemented the Read to Succeed program, vending machines of books for children, and the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program, a free tax service for those whose income is less than $60,000.  

The Unity and Diversity Committee will honor the two recipients at the 19th Annual Unity Honors Luncheon.  The luncheon will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Feb. 15 at the Maude Cobb Convention Center, 100 Grand Blvd.

Tickets for the luncheon are $25 and are available online at LongviewTexas.gov/UnityHonors or any of three locations after Dec. 13 — Broughton Recreation Center, 801 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.; Longview Public Library, 222 W. Cotton St.; or Partners in Prevention, fourth floor of the Glover-Crim Building, 140 E. Tyler St.

Tickets must be purchased by Feb. 6, as tickets will not be available at the luncheon. Sponsorships are available.  For more information, please call Partners in Prevention at 903-237-1019.
