The spirit of excellence and altruism took center stage at the luxurious Voco Laguna Hills Hotel for the 2025 eZWay Awards Golden Heroes Luncheon. Produced by the eZWay Network, this prestigious gathering served as a powerful tribute to the visionaries, leaders, and changemakers who are shaping the future of business, media, philanthropy, and community service.

Hosted by the charismatic Dr. Eric Zuley, Founder & CEO of eZWay Network, alongside the legendary Dr. Omar Periu and Johnny Venokur, the event was more than just an awards ceremony—it was a masterclass in purpose-driven leadership.

A Mission of Unity and Service

The luncheon was fortified by the support of prominent entities, including Fiona Ma, CPA, the California Investment Forum, and the Universal Peace Federation and the 46th & 49th US Congressional districts. Together, these partnerships underscored a shared commitment to economic empowerment, global cooperation, and social unity.

The Dana Point Congressman Mike Levin’s office supported this event by providing over 50 certificates as their way of supporting what this event stood for.  

Beyond the accolades, the heart of the event remained focused on giving back. The gathering proudly benefited Better Vision For Children, providing essential vision care and resources to ensure children in need have a clearer path to a bright future.
