The Legacy Awards celebrate the transformative impact of youth mentoring in Metro Atlanta. This year, Alumni Littles and BBBS program graduates Jahmyr Jones and Chasity Dorsey were honored with the Outstanding Graduate and Scholarship Award, presented by Angela Blank on behalf of the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation. Jahmyr, a freshman at Morehouse College studying computer science, and Chasity, a freshman at Florida A&M University working toward her career in dentistry, exemplify the success and potential nurtured through mentorship. 

The centerpiece of this year’s Legacy Awards Luncheon was an inspiring panel discussion on the transformative impact of mentoring in both life and business. Moderated by esteemed journalist and TV anchor Monica Pearson, the panel featured Paul Brown, CEO of Inspire Brands, and Richard Cox, SVP of Reservation Sales and Customer Care at Delta Air Lines. They shared powerful insights on how mentorship shapes personal growth and drives success. Guests also enjoyed meaningful networking opportunities and entertainment from comedian and host Baron Vaughn.
