The 2012 Castle Award was presented to a former Board chairman with nearly 20 years experience at Rosecrance.
Jerry Paris, who joined the Rosecrance Board of Directors in 1993 and was chairman in 2002, is the recipient of the award, which was announced at the 2012 Rosecrance Foundation Benefit on April 14. Presenting the award were Rosecrance President/CEO Philip W. Eaton and Jean Castle, wife of the late Millard Castle and daughter-in-law of the late Clarence Castle, longtime Rosecrance board members for whom the award is named.
Paris was chairman when the decision to build an adolescent treatment center was made. His leadership during that process was invaluable and proof of his commitment to Rosecrance is evident in the lives that are changed and saved every day on that campus.
