2023 Minority & Small Business Awards Celebration Auction Items


We are seeking assistance from local businesses and individuals in securing Raffle/Auction items for the 29th Annual Minority & Small Business Awards.  As a raffle/auction donor, your business will be recognized as a contributor to 29th Annual Minority & Small Business Awards and mentioned in the event program.

This year’s event, presented by the Minority and Small Business Alliance of Southern Arizona (MSBA), will be held on Thursday, September 21st, 2023 at the Casino Del Sol Resort, located at 5655 W. Valencia Road, Tucson, Arizona 85757.

The MSBA, a 501(c)(3) Non-profit organization, is recognizing the outstanding achievements of small and minority-owned businesses at the annual Minority & Small Business Awards.  In addition to recognizing small and minority-owned businesses, MSBA is also committed to assisting financially disadvantaged students in seeking higher education.

More than $121,000 in scholarships has been awarded to these students attending the University of Arizona and Pima Community College since this program began 20 years ago.  These scholarships would not have been presented without the continued support and donations of local Southern Arizona businesses.
