Widower gives $1 million to BRCC nursing program in Renee’s name
Paul Mansfield Young's gift funds a nursing scholarship and new equipment at Blue Ridge Community College. The donation honors his late wife Renee Young, whose care by area nurses inspired his generosity. Young, linked to Shoney's and Kounty Line, built a regional restaurant and convenience store business before this philanthropic act.
