A Celebration of Leadership, Legacy, and Community Impact Presented By The Community Foundation

Don’t call it a comeback: what we now know today as Prince George’s Honors has, indeed, been here for years. But it is a reimaging that makes the great but former Civic Leadership awards even greater than ever.

On Thursday, October 30, 2025, Prince George’s County will host a landmark event that redefines civic recognition and community celebration: Prince George’s Honors. From 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the luxurious MGM National Harbor, this inaugural gala promises an unforgettable evening dedicated to honoring the individuals and organizations shaping the county’s future.

Building on a Legacy

Prince George’s Honors builds upon the long-standing tradition of the Civic Leadership Awards, a prestigious platform that has recognized outstanding contributions to the community for years.
