The Community Anchor Trading Card Celebration, presented by Kayla Turner of Kayy Love Management and the Positivity Pays Foundation, brought the heart of St. Lucie County together for a night of gratitude, storytelling, and celebration. Held in Fort Pierce, the event was completely sold out, with every seat filled by people who came to recognize the real-life heroes who have shaped the community.


Social media was buzzing for days leading up to the event, with residents eager to get their hands on the rare and exclusive Community Anchor trading cards. By the end of the night, over 150 cards had been distributed—each one signed by the honorees themselves. The cards have quickly become collector’s items, symbolizing not just admiration, but the deep connection the community feels toward its leaders.


Powered by Humana: Title Sponsor with a Community Focus


The event’s success was made possible in large part by the generous support of Humana, who served as the title sponsor. Known for their work across the Treasure Coast, Humana has consistently invested in improving community well-being, offering healthcare access, outreach programs, and support for families and seniors. Their commitment to connection, compassion, and health made them the perfect partner for a celebration that honored individuals doing the same in their own way.


Humana team members attended the event, provided branded materials, and took time to speak to attendees about the importance of collective community care. Their presence added depth to the evening and reinforced the message that true health is about more than medicine—it’s about meaningful relationships.

He now leads in his local church, mentors young people, and shares his powerful story of perseverance. For the youth of Fort Pierce, CSM Mitchell is proof that greatness can come from humble beginnings—and that discipline and faith can take you far.

Cultural preservationist and founder of the Highwaymen Museum, Mrs. Doretha Hair Truesdell has worked tirelessly to protect and promote the legacy of Florida’s legendary Black artists. As the widow of famed painter Alfred Hair, Doretha has ensured that the story of the Highwaymen remains alive for generations to come. Through her work, children and adults alike are learning the importance of cultural pride, artistic expression, and the power of resilience in the face of adversity.


Why Celebrating Our Own Matters


The Community Anchor Trading Card Celebration wasn’t just about honoring individuals—it was about uplifting a vision of community that centers service, love, and leadership. It was about giving kids in the room real role models. It was about saying thank you to those who give so much and expect nothing in return. Every signature on a trading card represented a life touched, a story told, and a future inspired.


Kayla Turner, alongside Positivity Pays, reminded us all that recognition is powerful. It doesn’t just validate—it uplifts, connects, and fuels the kind of change that lasts.


With Drippin Culture News and The Westside Gazette covering the event and more media outlets to come, the impact of this night will continue to grow. This was just the beginning of a tradition that celebrates the people who make Fort Pierce—and all of St. Lucie County—a place to be proud of.
