Jenny Sanchez was awarded the Durant Kiwanis Club 2025 Citizen of the Year at today’s meeting. Jenny continually impacts our community by her volunteerism and philanthropy. Just to name a few of her affiliations, she has been involved with the Durant Area Chamber of Commerce, Oklahoma Shakespearean Festival, Southeastern Oklahoma State University Foundation Board, and many, many more. She currently serves as President of Cherokee Communications alongside of her husband Sam. She is proud of her son Gaius, and is heavily involved with any organization that he takes part in.

This award is well-deserved! Congratulations Jenny, and thank you for the support you not only give the Kiwanis Club, but also the community!
