KINDLE AWARDS™ & Gala, is an annual event to promote people in the Memphis area who work hard every day to make Memphis a great City. The KINDLE Awards is given to 15 area Memphians who are making a positive impact in our city but have not received any public recognition for their commitment to helping to make this city great by helping others. The KINDLE Awards™ is a black tie gala and gives us a chance to not only feel great on the inside, is also gives us a chance to dress up! The Silent Auction begins at 6:30 pm and the ceremony and dinner starts at 7:30 pm. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to two not-for-profit organizations: Metamorphis Inc and Ridgeway Assembly Life & Learning Family Center to help them continue to make a difference in the lives of our youth. Tickets are only $25 in advance and $30 at the door.
