King Kennedy Awards

The King Kennedy Dinner was established in 2005 to honor and recognize outstanding individuals who have made significant contributions to their communities and our great state. In 2019 the program format was updated and the name changed to the King Kennedy Awards.

The occasion also serves as our primary fundraising effort to gather the necessary resources to operate as a statewide organization. A portion of the proceeds from the event supports scholarships for Arkansas students pursuing careers in public service at Historically Black Colleges and Universities in Arkansas.
