The banquet provides an opportunity for members of the community to celebrate ethnic and cultural diversity, and the amazing work done by the wide spectrum of people who live and work here.

As part of the banquet, five scholarships will be awarded by CAP’s Community Action Development Corporation to students with low-to moderate-income.

Community Action Programs organized the first Multicultural Awards Banquet in 1989 to honor people of color who have made major contributions to the community. That event marked the first county-wide recognition of the accomplishments of people of color. The banquet sends a positive message to people by introducing them to ethnically diverse people who are making a difference in their community.
