The Aspire Cincinnati™ Award Luncheon was created by Assistance League to honor a local community leader and philanthropist with a “Passion to Inspire and Aspire” and a commitment to giving back to the local community.
The Aspire Cincinnati Award is a large vase-like urn opening in an upward reaching manner, created by local clay artist Sandy Manteuffel. Words like Inspire, Integrity, Service, Passion, Compassion, Honor, Empower, Dignity and Respect are the framework of this unique, one-of-a-kind award and reflect the missions of Assistance League and the award honorees.
