CELEBRATING THE BUSINESSES OF THE YEAR

EVENT SOLD OUT – NO DAY OF PURCHASE AVAILABLE

Local business growth is the foundation of the local economy and we think it is important to celebrate those businesses giving back to the local economy. The Lawrence Business Magazine Foundation Awards with presenting sponsor INTRUST Bank were established in 2012 to recognize growth in businesses, that are locally owned or locally franchised in Douglas County, and have been in business a minimum of three years prior. In 2023 with the 10th Anniversary Foundation Awards we added two new awards:The Minority-Owned Business Foundation Impact Award & The Woman-Owned Business Foundation Impact Award
