The upcoming People Profile Awards, an annual event designed to recognize the remarkable contributions of individuals, groups, and entities to both their communities and the world, is scheduled for this Sunday, September 24, hosted at the esteemed Faith Center in Sunrise.
This event not only celebrates excellence, but also extends a helping hand to noteworthy charities, including Whitfield Town Primary, Maverley Primary and Infant School, the Tom Joyner Foundation, and several others.
In a new development, the People Profile Organization has joined forces with the University of Fort Lauderdale, uniting under the theme “Together We Are Stronger.” This partnership underscores their shared commitment to prioritizing people, education, and community welfare.
The People Profile Awards promises to be a grand affair, with a black-tie dress code and a red-carpet entrance. Beyond honoring outstanding individuals and organizations within the community, the event will shine a spotlight on musical industry luminaries, and track and field expert Glen Mills.
The evening’s climax will be the presentation of the President’s Award to Consul General R. Oliver Mair. Additionally, noteworthy nominees include musician Freddie McGregor for the courage award, author Safiya Solomon for the community leadership award, Kiwanis Club of Lauderhill for the charity award, as well as Bishop Dr. Henry Fernandez, former Broward County administrator Bertha Henry, the Udonis Haslem Foundation, and others.
To enhance the event’s agenda, a full entertainment package is in store. Sixteen prestigious awards, including “Humanitarian,” “Media,” “Sportsman of the Year,” and “Courage,” will be presented by a diverse array of local celebrities and influential community figures.
Dr. Allan Cunningham, a notable lecturer and businessman, founded People Profile in June 2015 as a platform for individuals to share their unique stories and experiences.
For those interested in attending, both VIP and regular tickets can be obtained through peopleprofile.org.
