The Living Legends Awards for Service to Humanity Foundation will host its milestone 20th annual awards ceremony, highlighting remarkable individuals who have dedicated their lives to community improvement and social change. Founded in 2006 by Doreen Hines, the organization has consistently recognized extraordinary individuals committed to serving humanity.
This year's event, themed 'Champions of Change', will honor four distinguished honorees representing diverse fields of social impact. The recipients include Joseph McCoy, an advocate within the faith community; Jason Holt and Angela Holder, champions of restorative justice; and David R. Williams, a leader in social science and health equity.
Since its inception, the Living Legends Awards has recognized over 50 notable figures, including prominent civil rights leaders and internationally recognized changemakers such as the late U.S. Congressman John Lewis, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, and Nobel Laureate Leymah Gbowee.
The awards ceremony represents more than a celebration; it serves as an educational platform designed to inspire younger generations to engage in community service. By showcasing individuals who have made substantial contributions to society, the foundation aims to motivate attendees to recognize their potential for creating meaningful change.
The event will provide opportunities for community members to network, hear inspiring stories of service, and reflect on the transformative power of individual commitment. Participants can expect an evening that highlights courage, compassion, and dedication to societal improvement.
Taking place at the Sligo Seventh-day Adventist Church in Takoma Park, Maryland, the awards ceremony invites community members to join in recognizing and celebrating individuals whose work exemplifies the highest standards of social responsibility and humanitarian service.
