TeamMates Recognizes Hard Work With Will Compton

The annual TeamMates (www.LincolnTeamMates.org/SB) Recognition Event took place on February 8 at Lincoln Station in Lincoln’s Historic Haymarket. The event honored mentors, mentees, and program facilitators’ commitment to mentoring and hard work throughout the year.

This year, TeamMates honored Tim and Amy Clare with the Carmen and Tony Messineo Community Involvement Award for their support of Lincoln TeamMates through advocacy, fundraising assistance, and raising awareness around mentoring. Tim Clare was present to accept the award and took the opportunity to reflect on the importance of mentors in the lives of youth.

NFL linebacker and former Husker, Will Compton, capped-off the evening with a keynote speech discussing how he has sought to create his own destiny along the path to reaching his full potential. Another former Husker, Kenny Bell, attended in support of the program. Both NFL players stayed after to give autographs and take pictures with students and fans.

TeamMates would like to thank all those involved in making the evening a memorable one. If you are interested in getting involved, go to www.LincolnTeamMates.org/SB or call (402) 436-1990.
