The Salvation Army of Greater Houston
To meet human needs in His name without discrimination.
We are thrilled to share the success of The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club Youth of the Year Ambassadors' 18th Annual Brighter Futures Awards Banquet, held on March 7, 2024, at the prestigious River Oaks Country Club.
This memorable evening was dedicated to honoring and recognizing the outstanding participants of our year-long Youth of the Year Program. It fills us with pride to announce that 52 competition winners were awarded over $200,000 in scholarships to support their dreams of pursuing higher education. What's truly remarkable is that these funds are securely held by The Salvation Army until the students graduate high school, ensuring their brighter futures.
A heartfelt round of applause goes to our event chairs, Frances Howard and Mary Sage, for their exceptional leadership for the second consecutive year. Their unwavering dedication and passion have played a pivotal role in making this event a resounding success year after year.
We also extend our deepest gratitude to our esteemed long-time supporters, community leaders Gina and Saib Saour. Their steadfast commitment has been instrumental in our journey. In 2020, Gina Saour took on the pivotal role of Youth of the Year Brighter Future Awards Banquet Chair and spearheaded the Youth of the Year Ambassador Program, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of our participants.
