Mayor Muriel Bowser was awarded the Share The Love Award for her commitment to ensuring the youth of Washington, D.C. have the programs and educational opportunities they need to excel.

In addition to honoring adult and youth leaders in the community, WTEF announced a new two-year Community Champions Partner – Mubadala Investment Company — a partnership to impact the lives of hundreds of youth in the nation’s capital.
