Capitol Sports Vice President George Habel recently attended the annual Campaign4Change DBL Awards Banquet and blogged about the Durham Bulls big honor on the night in his Note to Self:

A Red Carpet Evening at the Ballpark

Durham Bulls - Sponsor of Year
DocuSource Inc. honors the Durham Bulls as the 2015 Sponsor of the Year for Campaign for Change.

We ring in the New Year with this bling and a big event in the PNC Triangle Club on January 11th.

The Bulls were recognized as Sponsor of the Year at the Campaign4Change annual soirée – Community Celebrities on the Red Carpet.

Indeed, we are big supporters of C4C and its’ colorful founder, Otis Lyons, AKA Vegas Don. This may seem atypical of the non-profit realm, but there’s a compelling backstory.

Otis grew up in poverty, took the wrong path, founded a gang, was shot in the head and went to jail – yet remarkably – he made a U-turn, a fresh and positive start. Now, he’s a promoter of hope in Durham’s poorest neighborhoods. He founded a basketball league where the kids are equipped and play for free. He connects with young people through entertainment programs. Raising their sights. Countering the influence of gangs. Otis rolls up his sleeves at the public housing apartments and senior centers, too. The man has a big heart!

Thanks to CS’ George Habel for this capcom story & for these capcom photos.
