Quilen Blackwell, whose nonprofit transforms vacant lots
on Chicago’s South Side into flower farms that employ
at-risk young people to grow, arrange and sell the
flowers, is the 2025 CNN Hero of the Year.
​
Online voters selected him from this year’s
Top 5 CNN Heroes, everyday people
who are recognized for taking action
to solve problems in their communities.
​
Reacting to the news, he gave credit to
his wife, Hannah, and his Christian faith,
as well as the young people who work at his social
enterprise, Southside Blooms, whom he described as “stars.”​

EPACHA Foundation Extends a
Very Special Thank You
to a Very Special
Hero!

R. E. "Ted" Turner III

Without "Ted Turner," there would be no CNN.
And without CNN, there would be no
Many Thanks,
"TED!"
Remember . . .
We can “all” be “Everyday Heroes”
by sincerely seeking out those who need a
caring hand of help in our families,
neighborhoods and broader
communities; the areas
wherein we interact on a
daily basis. As there certainly is
"MUCH WORK TO BE DONE,"
a profound difference of improvement can
result if heroic acts of genuine helpfulness
are a central focus of the responsible work
of local officials. Local support is a
welcoming and indispensable
catalyst toward a better
world for all. As we
continue to progress
through the portals of
the 21st Century and
this New Millennium, let’s
keep in mind that it’s really up
to “everyday people” working together
to bring forth that sure and promising future for
children – who are the future – already with us today.
