Our Prosperity Builders

Prosperity Builders are our awards that honor individuals who show up in ways that transform lives and strengthen community. These recognitions are not based on nominations, but on the real impact we witness, experience, and engage with directly. Each honor reflects a legacy rooted in faith, service, love, and impact. Together, they represent the full expression of what it means to lead with purpose through spirit, voice, open doors, and light. Each award is presented annually in honor of these legacies, as a continued reflection of the lives and impact they represent. 

• William Gay Jr. Spirit Award: honoring those who lead with faith, humility, and a commitment to serve others.

• Sam Sharpe Jr. Voice Award: honoring those who stand boldly, speak truth, and show up for the community without hesitation.

• Angela Games Open Door Award: honoring those who create space for others, offering support, shelter, and care when it’s needed most.

• Rashaud Johnson Light Award: honoring those who bring joy, lift spirits, and remind us of the power of joy, laughter, love, and presence.
