A Laker staff report
Cathy Bickham and Mary Ann Yaney launched their bid to become the next Honorary Mayor of Wesley Chapel at a mixer on May 9 at Ierna’s Heating and Cooling in Lutz.
The duo laid out their campaign themes and announced the charities they’ll be supporting through their fundraising efforts.
A portion of the proceeds raised through the annual campaign supports various activities of the Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce, and the candidates also designate charities that their fundraising efforts will benefit.
Bickham, who is a market strategist for Florida Hospital Zephyrhills, said her efforts will support the Wesley Chapel Lions Club and Support Our Troops. Her theme is “Together, we grow.”
Yaney’s theme is “Engaging our businesses.” The assistant vice president and office manager of Central Bank in New Tampa said her quest will support an organization called Tampa Leads and Philanthropy.
Both women want to use their campaigns to help foster a deeper sense of connection within the community, aimed at creating better opportunities for success for everyone.
