For more than a decade HOMBRE Magazine (www.hombre1.com) has been promoting and inspiring Latin men to live their best lives. The brand remains the only media outlet targeting Latin men in an upscale environment, presenting the world's best brands and lifestyle experiences in an aspirational context that provides readers with a blueprint for triumph.

Hennessy, the world's best-selling Cognac, served as the title sponsor celebrating Latinos. This year, Hennessy aligned with Canelo Alvarez, one of the honorees, to celebrate the notion of "Never stop. Never settle."

The event was also sponsored by Ford Motor Co. and VivaliveTV.

"Our inaugural awards recognized Latinos who are truly making a difference in their communities and who are inspiring the next generation of young men to achieve their full potential," says Francisco Romeo, editorial director and founder of HOMBRE Magazine.

In addition to the Awards ceremony, HOMBRE has developed a charitable element consisting of a silent auction with items and experiences donated from the honorees. These include the opportunity to attend a 'Canelo' Álvarez fight, participate in a unique dining experience crafted by chef Aarón Sánchez, design a singular fragrance with Flores-Roux, or front row tickets to a New York Fashion Week: Men's with Carlos Campos; among others.
