Annual JT Winstead Award Winners Honored At Next Level!

Recently, we got enjoy time with a couple of very special people, Thad and Lisa Winstead, as they continued their annual tradition of honoring high school seniors at Next Level, with a RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS….

IN MEMORY of their son, JT WINSTEAD, 3 years ago, his parents established a gift of lessons to be given to a deserving athlete, who displays the WALK and WORK ETHIC that JT did. For those not aware, JT was taken from us far too soon, in a tragic accident in June 2021, along with three other wonderful teenagers, Abby, Devin & Madison. This is but one, of the many ways, that Thad & Lisa continue to help honor JT’s memory & legacy & we are honored to partner with them on this. This year’s awardees, pictured left to right on JT’s bench….
