“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.”
As an organization that is focused on utilizing what we are equipped with today to create better futures for ourselves and those that are coming after us, we present The Legacy Builder Award.
We want to recognize individuals who have managed to use their resources (be it their influence, their time, their experiences, their money, and their network) to help uplift others as they climb to their greatest potential. This award acknowledges and champions the idea of not just enjoying and consuming the fruits of our labor, but improving the infrastructures and lives around us for the betterment of the future.
