This year, two candidates ran for 2020 Honorary Mayor of Riverview. Together, they successfully raised $34,848.22. These funds will support local charities, including ECHO (Emergency Care Help Organization), Impact Program, My Warrior’s Place and the South County Spartans Athletic Program.
The two candidates were Daniel Cyral of Hypnotic Engagements and Deputy Mayors Bryan and Marijean Reith of Team Reith – RE/MAX Realty Unlimited. They raised the money through various fundraisers that each of them held.
The winner of the race was introduced at the Greater Riverview Chamber of Commerce’s (GRCC) December luncheon. With over $18,000 collected by Cyral, he was pronounced the winner. His charities are My Warrior’s Place and the South County Spartans Athletic Program.
Cyral will serve one year on the GRCC Board of Directors and the Reiths will be deputy mayors. As a team they will all help to deliver proclamations at GRCC Ribbon Cuttings and present the Pledge of Allegiance at the monthly luncheons.
