Henderson, NV – On Wednesday, May 8, 2024, Greater Youth Sports Association (GYSA) will transform Lee’s Family Forum (formerly The Dollar Loan Center) into a hub of inspiration and celebration for its Annual Character and Awards Night Event. This unique youth development gathering will bring together professional athletes, community leaders, and high-level role models to share their stories of success and inspire the next generation.

DJ K-Rich will set the atmosphere with lively tunes for the fair.
The title sponsor for this year’s event is ICON HVAC, joined by sponsors including Revere Mechanical, Solid Promo Prints, Southern Nevada Health District, and Bar Code Burgers. Their generous support highlights the community’s commitment to youth sports and development.
Attendees will have the privilege of hearing from distinguished speakers including Ernie Jimenez, Owner of Icon HVAC and co-founder of the 4Life Foundation; Devonte Woodson, Co-founder of Greater Youth Sports Association; and Real Estate Investor, Jemal King, known as “The 9-5 Millionaire.”
