Honor and Recognition: Trump Awarded Lifetime Achievement
On January 27, 2025, Brandon and Natalie Dawson, accomplished entrepreneurs from Scottsdale, Arizona, celebrated a significant milestone as they honored former President Donald J. Trump with the prestigious Six Star Diamond Lifetime Achievement Award at Mar-a-Lago. This grand event took place on New Year's Eve, symbolic of new beginnings and noteworthy celebrations.
The Six Star Diamond Award is recognized globally for its highest standards of excellence in hospitality and luxury services. The American Academy of Hospitality Sciences (AAHS), which oversees this award, aims to celebrate individuals and organizations that exemplify outstanding quality and service. Under the leadership of Brandon Dawson, who is now the Vice Chairman of AAHS, the award holds even greater significance. This year’s accolade is particularly impactful, recognizing a figure with unmatched commitment to community service: President Trump.
Dawson, co-founder and CEO of Cardone Ventures, eloquently expressed, "This was incredibly special for me and Natalie. Celebrating the New Year with President Trump and honoring him personally for his dedication was a fantastic experience. We are grateful for his service and contributions."
The Six Star Diamond Award has previously been bestowed upon a wide array of celebrities and organizations that have made significant contributions in their fields. Notable past recipients include sports legends like Derek Jeter and Dave Winfield, as well as influential figures like Andrea Bocelli and Sharon Stone. Major corporations receiving this award include Etihad Airways, Delta Airlines, and luxury hotel chains such as Four Seasons and St. Regis.
Dawson underscored the importance of local businesses following a roadmap to global impact. He emphasized that award presentations like this showcase the incredible potential when community vision, determination, and support unite.
Cardone Ventures, founded with a mission to empower business owners in achieving personal, professional, and financial triumphs, has gained remarkable recognition under Dawson’s guidance. Its influence extends not only in Arizona but also throughout the hospitality industry.
The award ceremony represents a charismatic blend of ambition being rewarded at a momentous event. Many applaud the Dawsons for paying tribute to Trump and for their entrepreneurial spirit.
