Kevin Jones with Oconee State Bank received the most notable honor of the evening as the 2023 Gwinnett Young Professional of the Year.
Nearly two hundred individuals attended the event to honor these up-and-comers. TheYParty also partnered with the P4 Foundation and the Make-A-Wish Foundation to raise funds and grant a wish for “Landon”, an eleven-year-old child battling cancer. They announced a total of $5,000 in support of this cause just prior to the conclusion of the evening.
