The Tower Awards for Women Leaders

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 30th Annual Tower Awards. It was a wonderful evening celebrating this year’s outstanding award recipients. Through your generosity, we raised more than $350,000 for Presentation Academy’s Tuition Assistance Program, helping make a Pres education more accessible for Future Pres Girls. We are deeply grateful to our sponsors and to all who contributed to this year’s success.
