The Sgt. Kennedy L. Sanders Foundation recognized 24 children, students, and young men and women during its second annual banquet last month at the C.C. McCray City Auditorium.
The honorees were selected as part of the celebration’s “24 Under 24: Up-and-Coming Leaders of Waycross” to honor the late U.S. Army soldier’s life. Sgt. Kennedy was 24 when she was killed January 28, 2024 in a drone attack on her unit’s base in Jordan.
In her memory, the foundation and her family, headed by parents Shawn and Oneida Oliver Sanders, selected 24 outstanding young leaders from the Waycross area who represent the promise and potential of the community.
