The BBB Torch Awards for Ethics is more than an awards program; it is a celebration of the businesses, nonprofits, and leaders helping shape a stronger, more trustworthy Southern Arizona.
Established by the BBB of Southern Arizona, the Torch Awards recognize organizations that lead with integrity, prioritize ethical practices, and make a lasting impact in the communities they serve. These honorees represent the power of trust in action and the positive difference organizations can make when they lead with purpose.
At BBB, we believe trust is the foundation of strong communities. Through Accreditation, education, and celebration, BBB continues to advance trust in the marketplace while recognizing those who inspire confidence and set an example for others to follow.
In 2026, we were proud to honor Dominic Ortega, affectionately known throughout the community as “Mr. Tucson,” with the Community Visionary Award, recognizing his leadership, service, and lasting impact on Southern Arizona.
Now, we’re looking ahead to a milestone year.
In 2027, BBB of Southern Arizona will celebrate 75 years of advancing trust in our community, making this next year’s Torch Awards an especially meaningful celebration of the people and organizations who continue that legacy.
Join us on Friday, May 7, 2027, at Casino del Sol as we celebrate the businesses, nonprofits, and community leaders who continue to raise the standard for trust and ethical leadership across Southern Arizona.
Who will be our next Community Visionary? The recipient of the 2027 Community Visionary Award will be announced this November.
Until then, experience the energy, inspiration, and meaningful moments that make the Torch Awards so special by watching highlights from our 2026 celebration above.
