"What an unforgettable evening we had as we celebrated our young leaders at the Rising Youth Leadership Award Celebration! Each recipient had the chance to showcase their accomplishments in a unique and interactive way—introduced by someone from their table who shared their achievements. Getting to know these inspiring young leaders in person was a wonderful opportunity. Their passion, dedication, and potential were on full display, making the night even more special.

Congratulations to Our RYLA Award Recipients!
