In the inaugural event, a dinner was held for the athletes at the Madonna University banquet center, followed by the gala event on MU's campus.
Due to the overwhelming popularity of the event, the second annual BGA dinner and event will be held at St. Mary's Cultural Center in Livonia. The event will once again feature awards in over 18 different categories and will be highlighted by special guest presenters, video montages and much more.
The awards ceremony will follow the annual student-athlete convocation mass. Dinner seating is limited (400) with family and friends wishing to attend the dinner and awards show encouraged to reserve their tickets today. Tickets can be purchased online via credit card while supplies last.
