The Jackson Awards were first given in 2006 to honor individuals in our community who exemplify the truest qualities of a leader. The awards are named after President Andrew Jackson, our city's namesake, and presented to individuals who have served as leaders in one of the following areas: The Arts, Education, Healthcare, Leadership, Volunteer Service, and Youth. The award recipients will be honored at the Community Foundation of West Tennessee's annual Charity Gala on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at the Carl Perkins Civic Center in downtown Jackson.
