In this week's Blog, Barb shares a glimmer of hope as the DBE program is currently in the BUILD America 250 Act for reauthorization.

Barb calls for action in the form of contacting your representatives to let them know the importance of reauthorizing the DBE program.

You may have heard...but we are already SOLD OUT of golfers and hole sponsorships due to the overwhelming support of our Premier Sponsors. We understand this has come as a surprise and disappointment to many, but we are incredibly grateful to have a community of supporters who believe in our cause.

There is a place on the registration page to be added to our golfer or hole sponsor waitlists—we will contact you should a spot open up. There are also plenty of other sponsorship opportunities available to still support the event.

Check out our Golf Event page here to learn more: https://awcmn.org/golf

SCHOLARSHIP REMINDER: Applications are due to AWC by Thursday, April 30, 2026. Visit our Scholarship Page to learn more and to access the online applications: https://awcmn.org/scholarships/
