Napier to receive Henry Hyde Award

Irene Napier, a longtime McHenry County resident, has been announced as the inaugural recipient of the Henry Hyde Celebrating Life Achievement Award.

"Irene's dedication to the cause has been unmatched," said Brian Kelly, President of Patriots United. "She embodies the fact that this award is about so much more than simply fighting for or against a specific issue. This award is about both standing strong on the fundamental principle of life and living your life as an ambassador and example for all those in the arena who are fighting by your side. Irene has proved this time and again, evidenced by her humble desire to see her fellow activists receive the accolades she so clearly deserves."

This is the first year this award is being given by Patriots United. It will be presented annually to a member of the community who is a true leader for the pro-life cause.

Irene will officially receive the award at the 2nd Annual Celebration of Life Unity Breakfast hosted by Patriots United on Saturday, April 2nd. There are still tickets available for this great event. For more information please visit www.patriotsunited.com or email Meagan@patriotsunited.com.
