Johnelle & JB Hunt* – 2018

LEGACY AWARD

Legends of Arkansas’s business and philanthropic communities, J.B. and Johnelle Hunt built J.B. Transport Services from a five-truck operation into one of the largest transportation communities in the nation. The success of the company is rivaled only by the couple’s generosity, supporting innumerable worthwhile causes throughout Arkansas. Among the most recent examples, a $5 million dollar pledge toward building the forthcoming Northwest Arkansas Nature and Education Center in Springdale. Yet another legacy for future generations that bears the Hunt stamp.
