About This Event

For the past 19 years, the Sons of Bransford (SOB) Awards have aimed to recognize African American men and women who have positively impacted their community's social conditions and the lives of individuals through both quiet and prominent leadership. These individuals deserve honor and recognition for their achievements despite facing trials and tribulations, serving as sources of strength, courage, and hope for others as peaceful warriors. In the spirit of the award's namesake, Jim Bransford, the honorees deserve to receive their flowers while they can still smell them. Jim inspired multiple generations with his straightforward, practical approach to solving life's challenges. He embodied resilience, tenacity, and a love for family and community.

Join us in celebrating the 20th year of the SOB Awards, which will commemorate Jim's life, recognize current and past award recipients, and honor 20 years of the "S.O.B. Award."
