๐ A VERY SPECIAL 2026 BEST OF THE BEST HONOR! ๐
For the second year, Sassy Chicks Real Estate Group is proud to present an Honorary Best of the Best Award to an individual who helps make Union County a better place to live.
This year, we are so excited to recognize Michael Wayne O'Neill! ๐โค๏ธ
Michael is a Wingate University graduate with a degree in Communications/Sports Media and works as a reporter for The Enquirer-Journal, where he helps tell the stories of our local businesses, athletes, schools, events and the wonderful people who make up Union County.
Friends and family have even affectionately called Michael โMister Union Countyโโand we think that makes him a pretty perfect choice for this honor!
But what makes Michaelโs story even more special is his personal journey. As a child, Michael experienced significant speech and communication delays and didn't truly find his voice until around the age of eight. He went on to discover a passion for broadcasting and sports announcing, earn his degree in communications, and build a career centered around something that was once so difficult for himโusing his voice to tell the stories of others.
What an incredible reminder of how far determination, passion and perseverance can take you. โค๏ธ
Today, Michael has written thousands of articles and continues to shine a spotlight on the people, businesses, schools and athletes who make our community special.
Michael, thank you for using your talents and your voice to celebrate Union County. We are proud to recognize you as our 2026 Honorary Best of the Best Award recipient! ๐
Please help us congratulate Michael Wayne O'Neill โ โMister Union County!โ ๐๐
Celebrating the people who make Union County THE BEST! โค๏ธ
