Super hero
Wanda Butts, the inspirational founder of The Josh Project, celebrated her recent CNN Heroes award with a fundraiser at The Ramada Hotel & Conference Center. Wanda’s non-profit is dedicated to teaching children how to swim, and is named in honor of her son Josh, who lost his life in a drowning accident. The celebration was held on what would have been Josh’s 23rd birthday, December 9.
