GSBA Scholarship Dinner: Hear Their Stories

March 21, 2018• byMichael Strangeways

One of the Greater Seattle Business Association’s biggest mandates is their stewardship of their “GSBA Scholarship Fund” which has awarded over $3 million dollars in scholarships to deserving LGBTQ students over the years.

The 2018 GSBA Scholarship Dinner is not that far away…Friday, May 18th at Seattle Marriott Waterfront and now is a good time to start planning if you’d like to attend or if you just want to support the Scholarship Fund by making a donation if you’re unable to attend.

At each annual dinner, you get to see, hear and meet the students who have been awarded these funds to help further their education and their commitment to being strong members of our community.
