In an email received late last week paraphrased by R. Wayne Hicks, BETF's Executive Director, "...American Honda Foundation's Board of Directors has decided to partner with NBDPA in its efforts of making a difference in the lives of our youth. In fact, the SITES program ranked number one out of the top 15 finalists! Not to mention there were over 500 other proposals we had to review for consideration this quarter..."
