Wellington resident Micheal Pinkney was recently honored by Molina Healthcare of Florida for his volunteerism and service at the fourth annual Community Champions Awards.
Pinkney is the executive director of the Salvation Army Northwest Community Center. Through his role, he has been able to unite organizations to work together for the common cause of uplifting the less fortunate.
His other efforts include establishing an after-school program that serves more than 80 children from the inner city, and a summer camp that serves more than 100 kids every year. Pinkney is also a coach at Cardinal Newman High School, where he has opened numerous doors for students to receive scholarships and access to the skills and training they can use to their full potential.
“We are proud to recognize Micheal as a Community Champions winner,” said David Pollack, president of Molina Healthcare of Florida. “His dedication and willingness to go above and beyond to help people in need is inspirational and has made a significant impact in our community.”
