The CASONY Lifetime Impact Award

The Caribbean American Society of New York (CASONY) established this prestigious honor in order to recognize individuals who have devoted their lives to uplifting and transforming the Caribbean community. We celebrate those whose influence has been felt across multiple areas, whether through cultural enrichment, social advocacy, mentorship or community development. With this lifetime honor, CASONY seeks to highlight the extraordinary dedication of those who consistently champion the values and well-being of the Caribbean American community in New York State.

The CASONY Lifetime Impact Award is more than just a pat on the back. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of each recipient. Through this award, CASONY not only acknowledges individual achievement, but also inspires others to contribute and create a positive impact. This ensures that our community will continue to thrive for years to come.
