Kansas City Kansas Vanguard Awards

Note: Donations help students recipients pay for college.

The Vanguard Awards mission is to honor individuals who have transcended the limitations of their communities, achieving global success while remaining rooted in their humble origins and giving back without seeking recognition. Despite their significant contributions, they often go unnoticed within their own communities. We seek to redefine recognition criteria, valuing community impact over fame, and to honor those who selflessly serve without expecting acknowledgment. Our aim is to shift perceptions and celebrate those who tirelessly dedicate themselves to their community's well-being.
