For more than two decades, C12 has honored exceptional leaders who boldly integrate faith and business, demonstrating what it means to steward a company for God\u2019s glory. In 2023, this prestigious award was renamed the <\/span>Bob Mack C12 Hero Award<\/b> in memory of the man who first introduced C12 founder <\/span>Buck Jacobs<\/span><\/b><\/a> to the <\/span>vision<\/b><\/a><\/span> of dedicating a business to Christ. Bob was a trusted friend, business partner, and a living example of how to pursue both <\/span>success and significance<\/b> through faith.<\/span><\/p>

The Hero Award recognizes leaders who embody this same calling. These individuals have been part of C12 for at least five years and have demonstrated <\/span>extraordinary faithfulness<\/b>, <\/span>servant leadership<\/b>, <\/span>trust in God<\/b>, <\/span>perseverance through adversity<\/b>, and <\/span>courage in advancing ministry<\/b> through their businesses.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t
