The Inspiring Hero Award

Presented by CEO Matthew Laken, this recognition celebrates educators, leaders, mentors, and difference-makers who inspire others through service, integrity, leadership, and love. Rooted in the belief that true heroes uplift those around them, the award reflects Cramers’ deep commitment to education, community impact, and empowering future generations.

For nearly a century, Cramers has believed that greatness is built not only through success — but through inspiring others to succeed alongside you.
