2023 Terry Brewster Award Recipients Announced with NBC World Series
Community Volunteer All-Star Recognizes Wichita-Area Volunteers
The National Baseball Congress announced the 20 community members who will be recognized as Terry Brewster Community Volunteer All-Stars at the 2023 NBC World Series, powered by Evergy.
The Terry Brewster Community Volunteer Award is given annually in honor of long time NBC supporter and former board member Terry Brewster. Volunteers are nominated by members of the community, and then winners are selected by a committee. More than 50 nominations were submitted in 2023 for local volunteers.
The 2023 honorees receive four tickets to an NBCWS game where they will be recognized during the feature game, and have their story shared. The community is invited to attend the games and help celebrate these dedicated residents who volunteer their time, talent, and resources for the benefit of others.
