Corpus Christi, Texas– James Pettus, Senior Vice President of The Trust Company, was recently honored at The 2015 Father of The Year Awards Dinner presented by American Diabetes Association and Corpus Christi Father’s Day Council as the 2015 Father of the Year.
This award is chosen by the members of The Father’s Day Committee to recognize exceptional fathers who have demonstrated the ability to balance their personal lives and successful careers with the demands of being an exemplary role model for their children. James joins a list of Father of the Year recipients that dates back to 1942 when Douglas MacArthur was honored. He joins other honorees such as Harry S. Truman, Babe Ruth, Frank Sinatra, Martin Luther King, Sr., John F. Kennedy, Rudolph Giuliani, and George W. Bush.
The Fathers Day Council partners with American Diabetes Association. The purpose of the awards dinner is to raise funds for diabetes research and education and to recognize outstanding fathers for their contributions to their family, profession and community. Since 2000 Fathers’ Day Council and the American Diabetes Association have partnered to raise over $35 million for the American Diabetes Association.
“This honor is extremely humbling. It is nice to work with a group of people that promotes time with your family along with harboring success in your field,” said James. “This recognition burnishes the culture of our company even greater and I’m thankful that this honor supports such a worthy cause.”
