Local coach Venecia T. Eaton has been chosen as the April Hero of the Month by Long-Lewis Automotive Group in Selma.
“Venecia Eaton is a hero to our children! She has coached several kids both in the city and county, and has been able to coach in many different sports," said a post on Facebook that nominated her. "She is currently the head coach of the softball program at Selma High and truly is a role model to the youth!”
Nominees for Local Hero of the Month are chosen based on contributions made to the community. The chosen nominee will be given $500 for "Outstanding Community Service" and a Certificate of Appreciation.
To nominate someone, comment on their Facebook post and the one with the most likes will be chosen. The winner will be announced on the following month.
A winner can only be nominated every six months in order to encourage more people to take part in the effort.
