Each year Carnival salutes an individual who has made an enormous impact on the Mid-South thru not only their business success, but also their charitable and community endeavors.  The Cooke Halle Award is appropriately named for Carnival Memphis\' visionary founders, Everett R. Cook and A. Arthur Halle.

This year’s salute commemorates the 79th Anniversary of Carnival Memphis, and honors the Private Equity and Venture Capital Industry.
