For the first time in the history of the Freedom Award, the Foundation has chosen to honor a business rather than an individual and this year’s Freedom Award Recipient is former credit card giant, MBNA. Key former MBNA leaders John Cochran, Lance Weaver and Bruce Hammonds will accept the prestigious Freedom Award on behalf of MBNA and all who contributed to its national success and positive impact on Delaware.
“This honoree captures both my father’s enthusiasm for entrepreneurial innovation and the priority he placed on job growth,” said Thère du Pont, Board Chair.
This year’s award presentation will be held from 6:00-8:00 PM and will include passed hors d’oeuvres and complimentary beverages. The Freedom Award is held in downtown Wilmington in the hopes that attendees will support local restaurants by having dinner beforehand or after the event.
Tickets:
General Admission: $200 per person
E3 Members: $100 per person (or $200 for each member and one guest)
Legacy and Patriot Members: Complimentary admission for themselves and a select number of guests, based on their membership level.
