WCPSN is a therapeutic peer support network with 15 registered chapters in Texas.  Councilman Sanders was one of 11 people honored at the event that the WCPSN established.  The event recognizes individuals who advocate, support, implement, change or help destroy barriers and myths that have been deterrents to formerly incarcerated individuals and members of the community that desire to live drug and crime free.<\/p>\n<p> Sanders was nominated for the honor by the Live and Kicking Winners\u2019 Circle Peer Support Network of Tyler (Tyler Winners\u2019 Circle) because he is \u201cnot one to back down\u201d from doing the right thing. After the Winners\u2019 Circle lost its meeting place on Bellwood Road due to a zoning issue, Councilman Sanders became a supporting partner in the Winners\u2019 Supporting Winners\u2019 Capital Campaign. This campaign was initiated to build and support a new facility for the Tyler Winners\u2019 Circle to meet and provide outreach for those who avail themselves of the services provided.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCouncilman Donald Sanders is the epitome of a hero, but he does not boast his achievements; he is a man of noble qualities, a courageous and tireless fighter and a friend for those seeking a positive change in their lives,\u201d said Eric Broughton, executive director of the Tyler Winners\u2019 Circle. \u201c He has stood with us in our efforts to raise community awareness of the Tyler Winners\u2019 Circle\u2019s vision to support, encourage and guide toward a better life for formerly incarcerated individuals, graduates of the therapeutic community and all who desire to live a life free from drugs additions and crime. He strongly supports our efforts to help young people through education, prevention and intervention to make sound choices and decisions not to use drugs or become involved in criminal activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(In photo &#8211; City Councilman Donald Sanders (left) and Tyler Winners\u2019 Circle Assistant Executive Director Tony Meeks)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8212; Tyler City Councilman Donald Sanders was honored at the Winners\u2019 Circle Peer Support Network (WCPSN) at their Second Annual Unsung Heroes Awards Banquet Saturday, Oct. 23 at the Wyndham Hotel in Dallas.
