On Wed., July 25, we gathered for an inspiring afternoon celebrating Juneteenth and honoring extraordinary individuals who turned adversity into achievement—and who continue to uplift others through their courage, purpose, and partnership. Watch the official recap video to be inspired by this year’s Spirit of the League Awards Luncheon!
The Spirit of the League Awards Luncheon recognizes individuals who have overcome significant challenges yet have achieved success while giving back to the community. The League also recognizes people we serve who have embraced ULGA programs and services to achieve their goals and dreams and partners who support our work. The featured honorees share their compelling stories of triumph over obstacles and how they took control of their lives to make positive, sustainable changes.
Past Honorees include: Tyler Perry, Terri J. Vaughn, Soledad O’Brien, Mo’Nique, David Banner, Jeezy, Keke Palmer, Dwight Howard, Rashan Ali, Pinky Cole and Keri Hilson.
