Launched in 2011, this annual event celebrates the legacies of Jim Warsaw and Annalee Thurston, two extraordinary leaders in the business of sports.
The Warsaw-Thurston Award award recognizes an individual--male or female--who has achieved the highest level of professional success in advancing and creating opportunities for women in the business of sport. Through the award, we honor the current leaders in the sports business industry, and raise funds to support the leaders of the future.
Event proceeds strengthen the endowment of the Warsaw-Thurston Women in Sports Business Scholarship--a scholarship dedicated to women pursuing a career in sports business at the Warsaw Center.
The next gala will take place March 17-18, 2012 and will include an awards dinner and a pro/am tennis tournament. For information, please contact warsawthurstonaward@uoregon.edu.
The Warsaw Thurston Award Auction is now open. The auction will run from March 17, 2012 to April 26, 2012, with proceeds going to Warsaw Sports Marketing Center in order to support the Warsaw-Thurston Women in Sports Business Scholarship. Auction Items range from tickets to the Masters to autographed memorabilia. So, tell your friends, family, community. Let the bidding begin!
