Our founders and directors, Frank Sullivan and his late wife Julie, were honored in 2025 by Nikki-Dee Ray of News Channel 5 in Nashville with the My Hero award for their work with HOPEtown. Frank and Julie want to be clear, however, that they share this honor with our fantastic staff, amazing volunteers, and all the huge-hearted people of Lewisburg and Marshall County...or as we know our community, Hopetown, USA! You can find the news clip of the My Hero segment on the News Channel 5 website at www.newschannel5.com.
