Since 2012, Sustain Charlotte has honored smart growth and sustainability leadership in Greater Charlotte through this exciting annual event. Our honorees are working toward sustainability and smart growth, and by their actions, inspire others to do the same. The awards help us further our mission to inspire choices that lead to a healthy, equitable, and vibrant communities across the Charlotte metro region for generations to come.

Our event isn't your average awards ceremony. Our attendees are always fun and inspirational, the dinner is always local, delicious, and sustainable, and our program is upbeat. The evening will be a memorable and exciting affair that honors and celebrates our most outstanding local sustainability leaders and attracts many of Charlottes' leaders, elected officials, and media. We will also be celebrating the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and Sustain Charlotte's 10th anniversary! Tickets include dinner, an awards ceremony, raffle and an open bar of wine and beer donated from one of our 2019 winners, Birdsong Brewing Company! We are also excited to announce that WCNC's Brad Panovich will return to emcee our event again this year.
