Each year, we honor individuals and organizations across the Triad who have made significant contributions through their leadership, volunteer service, and philanthropy. The luncheon brings together community leaders, business professionals, nonprofit organizations, and honorees to celebrate the spirit of giving that is alive and well in the Triad.
