Good Citizen Award: Angie Stringer a Bright Light in Anderson

Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer

During February, I will be highlighting some good eggs in Anderson County in the name of goodwill. I'll probably stick to alphabetical. No way I will get close to praising all who are deserving, but it is a start. These will not be detailed profiles, just highlights of good work by good folks.

The good citizen award for today goes to Angela Stringer.

Angie has not only given of her time and energy, she has poured out her heart to the Anderson community. As director of the Cancer Association of Anderson (founded by another amazing person, Kathryn Smith), Angie has helped countless of our friends and neighbors and their families as they navigate the frightening, confusing and often expensive world of cancer treatment.

Angie is also a big shot in the South Carolina State Guard, helping recruit and spread the word about as well as participating in the organizations efforts to help those in the state who need help recovering from natural disasters or other emergency situations. (She can also tell you all you need to know about plants and gardening).

Anderson is a better place because of Angie Stringer, and if you want to say thank you, donate today to the Cancer Association of Anderson. Search them of Facebook for details on how to give.
