The 2024 Congress National Youth Activity Team Tournament Awards Ceremony once again finished the night by the awarding of a two-horse trailer donated by 4 Star Trailers as part of the NSBA Foundation’s Susan Scott Memorial Fund Scholarship. The scholarship is part of the NSBA Foundation's Youth of the Year award, which is presented annually to recognize youth for exemplary community service. Awarded to a randomly drawn donor through the “Envelope Challenge,” this year’s fundraising efforts raised nearly $60,000.

However, an extraordinary act of generosity from this year’s trailer recipient, Devon Martin, of Newport Beach, California, (pictured at left) occurred when she donated the trailer back to the NSBA Foundation, providing the opportunity to raise addition funds for the Susan Scott Memorial Fund and the Youth of the Year Award.
Thanks to the many generous donations of NSBA Foundation donors, this year's Envelope Challenge raised will raise nearly $100,000 for the Youth of the Year award! Thank you to everyone who participated!
Nominations for the 2024 Youth of the Year will open on February 1, 2025. Help the NSBA Youth to promote doing good in the neighborhood and encourage a youth in your life to apply.
