The Officers and Board members of The El-Beth-El Development Center hosted its 7th Annual “Stop the Violence Recognition” Banquet last weekend at the International Fire Fighters Local Banquet Hall.
The annual “Stop the Violence Recognition Banquet” celebrated a diverse list of honorees and future youth leaders for their outstanding academic achievement.
Since 2009, The El-Beth-El Development Center has honored dedicated individuals from the community for outstanding achievements, leadership and their contributions in helping Jacksonville build a stronger and healthier community. “We have this award ceremony every year to recognize community activist that go unrecognized. Awards are always bestowed to the people with name recognition and not the individuals that go deep into the trenches, helping everyday people.” said El-Beth-El Development Center Founder and Elder Bishop Hall.
