The 4th Annual Spirit of DeKalb Awards Gala is DeKalb’s premiere awards and social event celebrating the accomplishments of extraordinary DeKalb County employees, residents, businesses, philanthropists, and civic leaders. The Spirit of DeKalb Awards Gala was founded by DeKalb County CEO Lorraine Cochran-Johnson in 2022 in partnership with the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce.

A portion of the proceeds from the event will be used to support a charitable cause making an impact on the lives of DeKalb residents. DeKalb County is proud to support noteworthy community efforts by providing the critical support needed to impact lives and transform our community.
Join CEO Cochran-Johnson and DeKalb Chamber of Commerce President Frankie Atwater, along with many special guests, as we celebrate the best, brightest, and most deserving individuals within our communities, while supporting a worthwhile cause.
To make this event possible, corporate and community partners are needed. We look forward to your support as we show the true Spirit of DeKalb.
