The City of Berea and the Parks and Recreation Department will be honoring Cecil Green on November 16, recognizing his longtime support and encouragement of Berea’s young athletes.
The brief ceremony will take place next Monday at 4:15 p.m. at the baseball field flagpole in Berea Community Park. The public is welcome to attend.
A United States Air Force veteran, Green is widely regarded for his support for many young Berea athletes over the years, both boys and girls, from T-ball to college athletics, as well as being a mentor, positive community role model and enthusiastic supporter of youth sports. The city will be unveiling a plaque recognizing his contributions to the community.
