The Board of Directors reserve the right to increase the number of scholarships awarded to no more than three of $1000.00 each, provided sufficient funds have been acquired to fund the awards.
Highland Community Prayer Breakfast
Every year on the National Day of Prayer (the first Thursday of May), residents and businesses from Highland come to together to pray for our country, state and community. Clergy from the area provide prayers and local choirs have helped us with this amazing community event.

Founder's Day Festival
Our local communities have great events like the May Founder's Day Festival in downtown Highland. The HWLBA participates and walks in the parade each year. In 2023 and 2024 Oakland County Boat Sales graciously allowed us to borrow an amazing pontoon for the HWLBA to march with. We also enlisted the support of Marissa Carson, Miss Oakland County 2023 to march with us! Hope to see you next year at this great event!
