Awards and contests
IWBC Hustle Award
To honor the loss of one of our beloved co-founders, Shirley “Hustle” Burkovich, the International Women’s Baseball Center wants to celebrate people with the same love and passion for the game, who have spent their lives advocating and empowering girls and women in the game we love! This Lifetime Achievement Award is presented at our Founders Day event.
More information about Shirley and the Hustle Award can be found The Hustle Award Page.
