Patel honored with St. Thomas Black Law Student Association's MLK Award.
– The Florida Bar
St. Thomas College of Law’s Black Law Student Association presented its inaugural Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Award to alumnus and philanthropist Ricky Patel.
The MLK Award is given to someone who has continued to show dedication to serving and uplifting the Black community.
Judge Tarlika Navarro presented Patel the award, in recognition of his efforts for helping the African American community. In 2019, Patel established ITS4THEKIDS with the intention of making a larger direct impact in underprivileged communities. In the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests in the summer of 2020, ITS4THEKIDS developed Bridge The Gap, a program in which the organization collects items and donates them to police departments in Miami for its officers to hand-deliver to underserved communities where they work in an effort to forge better relations between police officers and civilians in those communities.
