Awards

SBA has different awards given out across several of our events. Below you’ll find past winners.

Tom Baroch Advocacy Award

Tom Baroch worked tirelessly for SBA and for people with Spina Bifida. Like so many—far, far too many in fact—we lost Tom early in 2018. To honor Tom and to keep his spirit alive, the Tom Baroch Advocacy Award was created.
