The Golden Rule Awards have a longstanding history in Arizona beginning in 2005. We hope you will join us for our Golden Rule Awards 20th Anniversary Celebration. A committee of interfaith leaders from dozens of faith traditions annually nominates and selects award recipients who are shining examples of treating others how we want to be treated.
This event, formerly known as the Golden Rule Awards Banquet held in Mesa, has been refreshed with a new format, a more accessible price point, and a stunning central location—making it easier than ever to connect, celebrate, and build relationships across faiths.
Event Highlights:
• Doors open at 5:00 PM for a reception and Faith Fair in the lobby of the Tempe Center for the Arts. This interactive experience features booths from a wide range of faith traditions. Guests will engage with diverse beliefs, enjoy cultural displays, and savor hearty hors d’oeuvres and foods representing global faith communities.
• At 7:00 PM, the celebration moves into the theater for an uplifting program featuring live performances and an awards presentation. The program highlights 8 individuals and organizations who exemplify the Golden Rule, along with special recognitions that include video tributes and personal reflections.
You’ll walk away encouraged, enlightened, and more connected to the interfaith spirit that brings our communities together.
