DECATUR, GA– DeKalb County on Dec. 13 will host its 3rd Annual Spirit of DeKalb Awards, an evening dedicated to celebrating outstanding leaders, innovators, and changemakers in the DeKalb community.
The gala will be held at Perimeter Crowne Plaza Ravinia, bringing together distinguished guests, community partners, and supporters for a night of recognition and inspiration.
The event will be hosted by Ryan Cameron, award winning radio personality, comedian and philanthropist, and co-sponsored by the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce .
“The Spirit of DeKalb Awards is our opportunity to shine a light on the extraordinary work being done across our community,” said DeKalb CEO Lorraine Cochran-Johnson. “Our honorees embody the spirit of innovation, service, and commitment that continues to move DeKalb forward.”
This year, the gala shines a spotlight on one of DeKalb County’s most urgent challenges—food insecurity. With ongoing economic uncertainty, recent layoffs, and the recent federal funding interruptions to programs such as SNAP and housing assistance, many families are facing hardship. Access to healthy, nutritious meals, a basic human right, has become uncertain for too many of our neighbors.
A portion of the proceeds from the Spirit of DeKalb Gala will directly support trusted local organizations that provide food and essential resources to those most in need, organizers said.
