Congressman Sandy Levin (l) Levin and Promise Zone Chairman Bill Hitchcock discussed their shared Hazel Park history for attendees.
The Hazel Park Promise Zone team was thrilled to host more than 150 guests at our fourth annual dinner.

The guests of honor included four Hazel Park High School alumni: Michigan State University student Braxton Buckner, University of Michigan student LaKaylia Kea, Schoolcraft College alumnus and soon-to-be Oakland University student Nick Lemere, and Western Michigan University student Ashley Watkins.  The students spoke on stage with Promise Zone board member Leon LaBrecque and shared ways in which the Promise Zone assisted them on their paths: through scholarship awards, extensive college advising, and other programming.

The Promise Zone's annual Promise Zone Service Award was dedicated to Chairman William C. "Bill" Hitchcock, a lifelong Hazel Park businessman and community volunteer.  Community activist and former mayor Jan Parisi, who has contributed in countless ways to the betterment of the community, was honored as the first award recipient.  She was also awarded a special honor by Peggy Burleson of the Hazel Park Lions Club. ​
