Description: It promises to be an evening filled with inspiration as we celebrate Hampton Roads teens’ crowning achievements through the Move Maker Awards & Scholarship Program.  Move Makers definition: a Young person who has persevered in spite of adversities that may have held him/her back in the past. Going from unsung heroes to Teens!

The Move Maker Award is intended to honor young people between the ages of 12 and 18 who have made significant strides. This year there is a special focus with young people in the St. Paul’s Quadrant. A MoveMaker is a person who has persevered in spite of adversities that may have held him/her back previously. The Move Maker Awards has been a key part of the annual gala since 2010.
