YMCA Giving Tree Gala honors Hugh Greene with 2022 Community Impact
The Winston Family YMCA hosted its annual Giving Tree Gala on March 26 to recognize Hugh Greene, honoree and recipient of the W.W. “Bill” Gay Community Impact Award. The event remembers and celebrates contributions of Gay and the nonprofit’s donors.
Greene, who served as president and CEO of Baptist Health for nearly two decades, was honored for his longstanding dedication, involvement and philanthropic efforts toward building a stronger community healthcare system.
“Hugh’s servant leadership and dedication to care for others are a few of the many reasons he was selected as this year’s recipient,” said Tim Burrows, district executive director of the Winston and Brooks Family YMCAs.
Greene’s initiatives included developing a program for the working uninsured, improving access to healthcare for the homeless, creating an endowment with the Baptist Health Foundation to support behavioral health services and advocating for human rights and LGBTQ youth. Gay and Greene are members of OneJax’s Circle of Honor, and both served as annual humanitarian dinner chairs in 1983 and 2018, respectively.
