Join Us for the 2022 Inspire Awards
The Inspire Awards is the BRAINATION Foundation's signature event dedicated to honoring community leaders who have improved lives and demonstrated the power and goodness of the human spirit. Recipients are nominated and selected based on their contributions to one of the following categories: Community Leadership, Visionary Leadership, Educational Achievement, and Lifetime Achievement.
Originally founded in 2015 as the Anne Frank Inspire Awards, this event has evolved with a planned approach to benefit kindergarten through 12th grade students.
If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities, please contact Jennifer at (210) 638-5012.
