Celebrating everyday champions who make a big difference – join us for the Unsung Hero Recognition Banquet 2026!
About this Event

Join Us for the Unsung Hero Recognition Banquet 2026!

There are people among us who show up every day… quietly, consistently, and powerfully… without applause, without spotlight, and often without recognition.

This afternoon is for them.

Join us as we honor the Unsung Heroes in our community, individuals whose service, sacrifice, and impact deserve to be seen, celebrated, and remembered.

This distinguished afternoon gathering will include:
• Honoree recognitions
• A dynamic keynote experience
• A beautifully curated dining experience by The Batson Experience
• Elegant décor and ambiance by Masani Marks, our official decorator for the year
• A special posthumous award presentation, honoring a life whose legacy continues to impact us all
• Moments of reflection, gratitude, and celebration

Whether you are attending to support an honoree, represent your organization, or simply be in the room where purpose is honored, this will be a meaningful and memorable experience.

PLENTY of parking will be available, including allocated lots and street parking for all guests.

Tickets are available now. Early purchase is strongly encouraged.
