The 1910 brand was never built alone.
From day one, there were people who showed up, poured in, believed, supported, shared, volunteered, prayed, and celebrated us before the vision was widely known. This night is for them.
The 1910 Legacy Celebration is a moment of gratitude and recognition honoring those who have helped shape, grow, and sustain the 1910 brand from the very beginning. It is our way of saying thank you to the builders, the believers, and the community that stood with us early and consistently.
Join us as we honor legacy, celebrate impact, and acknowledge the relationships that helped make 1910 what it is today.
This year’s honors include:
One Signature Honor
The highest recognition presented to an individual whose influence, loyalty, and contribution have left a lasting imprint on the 1910 brand.
Nine Curated Brand Recognition Awards
Personally selected by 1910 to honor individuals and brands whose excellence, partnership, and support helped elevate the vision through action and alignment.
Ten Community Choice Awards
Selected by public voting to recognize those who the community believes deserve to be celebrated for their impact and presence within the 1910 ecosystem.
This is more than an awards night. It is a thank you. It is a reflection. It is legacy in motion.
