The Heart of the Community Award recognizes individuals who demonstrate exceptional dedication, compassion, heart, and service, making a lasting positive impact on their community. This year, we are honored to present the award to Joe Spadoni III, a Pine Bluff native who continues to serve his community with heart, generosity, and dedication.
A graduate of Pine Bluff High School and Henderson State University, Joe is the co-owner and president of Delta Towing & Recovery, Inc. and Midtown Tire & Auto, two businesses that embody the Spadoni family’s long-standing reputation for excellence in the automotive industry. Midtown Tire & Auto has become a trusted name in Pine Bluff by offering dependable service, short wait times, and fair pricing—where every customer gets VIP treatment.
Beyond his business success, Joe is best known for bringing holiday magic to life. For the past four years, he has worked with local sponsors to fly Santa and Mrs. Claus by helicopter into area schools, delivering toys and joy to hundreds of students in Pine Bluff, White Hall, and Star City. In 2024 alone, the festive event visited 10 schools, with aspirations to reach even more in the years to come.
Whether through business, community service, or creating joyful moments, Joe Spadoni III leads with heart. We proudly honor him as the recipient of the 2025 Heart of the Community Award.
