About the Awards

Onyx Magazine, on behalf of LBS Foundation Incorporated, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, celebrates its eighth annual Onyx Awards. We invite you to serve on the Planning Committee of what has become Florida's signature African American awards celebration of "Black Trailblazers" and corporations that promote inclusion and diversity in the workplace.

 

This signature event serves as a funding engine to support health and education initiatives of the foundation, which currently focuses on sickle cell disease, early literacy and scholarships.  In 2009, through a generous donation provided by the LBS Foundation Incorporated, the Tri-County Sickle Cell Disease Association, Inc. continued services at its new outreach resource center. This office serves clients in Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties. Funding was also provided to the Jacksonville - Sickle Cell Disease Association, Inc. to assist in its mission to serve the clients of Duval County. Through your support, we can continue to make a difference.   

 

Sickle Cell is an inherited blood disorder that turns normal round blood cells into misshaped cells that appear as sickles or crescent moons. Although research continues to get closer to an answer regarding a cure for Sickle Cell Anemia, to date, none exists. The disease primarily affects people of color, to include the African Americans, Hispanic and Asian populations. 

 

Many families find themselves incapable of providing a normal life of extra curricular activities for their children. With your support we can afford a child an opportunity just to simply be a kid.  The education and literacy level of children shapes their own personal development and life chances, as well as the nation’s economic and social progress. In this vein, the LBS Foundation Incorporated Onyx Awards proceeds have benefited numerous students across the State of Florida area through college scholarships as well as literacy programs.
