The Cheat Sheet

Have you ever been to the Foundation's Awards Dinner? It's pretty amazing. You can celebrate people making a difference on the world stage and right here at home at our Community Service and Distinguished Alumni Awards Dinner Wednesday, October 16. This year's honorees are US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink (EGRHS class of '87) and Beer City Dog Biscuits founders Leslie Hooker and Suzanne Wilcox. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available on our Awards Dinner page.
