About the
Human Highlight Awards
Named in honor of our first board chairman, NBA Legend Dominique Wilkins, the awards have become the pre-eminent awards and symbol of recognition of those that have done amazing things in the disability space and beyond.
The awards honor venues, businesses and locations that have not only made the world better for those with disabilities, but also made accessibility and inclusion the fore front of their company’s mission.
“The KultureCity® Human Highlight Award is a profound recognition of those who embody the spirit of inclusivity and compassion, shining a light on the impact we can make when we prioritize humanity and embrace the diversity that strengthens our communities.”
Dominique Wilkins
KultureCity® Chairman

About
KultureCity®
KultureCity® is the nation’s leading non-profit organization focused on Sensory Inclusion. We believe that ALL individuals, regardless of their disabilities, deserve to be accepted and included. Our programs focus on helping people with autism, PTSI, Down Syndrome, anxiety and other sensory needs.
KultureCity® was founded in 2014 by husband and wife Dr. Julian Maha and Dr. Michele Kong to help parents of children with autism begin to fight against the exclusion and segregation of their children.
Over the last 10 years, KultureCity® has helped thousands of people with its programs such as LifeBoks, TabletKulture, TherapyKulture, KultureARTS, and Toys AUcross America to name a few. When noticing a lack of knowledge and programs at venues and in-person events, the KultureCity® Sensory Inclusive Certification Program was born.
The KultureCity® Sensory Inclusive Certification Program has grown from 20 venues to over 3,000 locations across 5 continents. It is an evolving program that continues to serve and add additional organizations along the way. The past two years have seen two new branches of the program take shape: medical and first responders. From events and venues to medical practices to calling 9-1-1, KultureCity® is helping to bring a voice to the voiceless through our programs.
KultureCity® is a group of individuals that are pursuing acceptance and inclusion for all. We welcome you to join our movement.
“It’s very important to me that we continue to bring about awareness and acceptance for people with sensory needs. I’m very proud to be a part of KultureCity®.”
