Annual Stone "Eben" Awards

Behold the prestigious Annual Stone "Eben" Awards, a beacon of recognition and celebration conceived in the spirit of liberty and dedicated to the noble proposition that leadership, like building, requires each individual to carry their heavy stone with moral integrity. Held annually in the harvest month of October, this esteemed event pays homage to leaders across twelve categories, including the esteemed "World Impact Award."

Rooted in the timeless wisdom of Isaiah 28:16, the Stone "Eben" Awards honor those tried and tested stones who, with unwavering dedication and courage, pave the way for a greater and stronger community in the Mid-South. From leaders and pioneers to heroes and inventors, these individuals and organizations exemplify the values of accountability, integrity, and service, working tirelessly to build a society of equality on a foundation of moral strength.

As echoed by the words of Martin Luther King Jr., "With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope." With unwavering faith and determination, the Stone "Eben" Awards recognize and celebrate the concrete solutions and transformative efforts of leaders who confront injustice and adversity head-on, fighting tirelessly to create a safer, healthier, and more peaceful world for all.

In the spirit of unity and collective action, let us join together to honor and uplift these exemplary leaders, whose tireless efforts and unwavering commitment inspire us all to strive for a brighter future, one stone at a time.
