This past Thursday, Bro. Stukes and Bro. Tanner graduated from the Spartanburg County Foundation’s Grassroots Leadership Development Institute! Over the last seven months, both have dedicated immense effort, enthusiasm, and time to the program.
Additionally, on October 12th, 2026, both brothers received official City of Spartanburg Proclamations for their respective initiatives. Bro. Stukes successfully had the City proclaim “Citizen Scholar Institute Day” in honor of the organization’s 30th anniversary. Bro. Tanner secured a proclamation designating October as “National Hate Crime Awareness Month,” which coincided with the City recognizing the one-year anniversary of the Hate Intimidation Ordinance that he drafted and lobbied to pass.
