Please join us on Thursday, October 26 as we honor Greg Hatcher for his outrageous service to the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranches.
Greg Hatcher and his team at The Hatcher Agency have been Arkansas’s number one producer in health insurance sales every year since the company opened its doors in 1990. Greg literally wrote the book on “Outrageous Service,” and The Hatcher Agency has been recognized as one of the top health insurance producers in the nation.
But for Greg, outrageous service doesn’t end with his business. Greg is constantly giving back to the community through his own outrageous service, and much of his philanthropic and volunteer work focuses on serving Arkansas children. Whether it is coaching football at Pulaski Academy, supporting mental health for children at Centers for Youth & Families, or by chairing the Arkansas Children’s Award Dinner for the last three years to benefit the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranches, Greg is always willing to step up for children.
Some of Greg’s most compelling work for children is his involvement with student athletics, especially his pioneering wrestling programs across the state. He founded The Arkansas Wrestling Association and has purchased wrestling mats for 60 high schools and 12 colleges to begin new programs. But more than any of the honors and accolades, Greg is proud to have over 4,000 Arkansas children strengthening their lives through wrestling.
In appreciation of his outrageous service to Arkansas children and his support of the mission of the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranches to provide homes for some of Arkansas’s most deserving children, we are proud to honor Greg Hatcher as the recipient of the 2017 Arkansas Children’s Award.
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe will make his 22nd appearance as master of ceremonies for the Award Dinner. The 22nd Annual Arkansas Children’s Award Dinner will be held on Thursday, October 26, 2017, at the Little Rock Marriott. A silent auction and reception will begin at 6:00 pm, and the dinner program and live auction will begin at 7:00 pm in the Grand Ballroom.
The Arkansas Children’s Award Dinner is an annual event benefiting the programs at the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranches and recognizing an individual or organization who personifies in word and deed the ideals of the Ranch and has made outstanding contributions to create better opportunities for Arkansas’s youth.
