Since 1998, the Austin Under 40 Awards (AU40) fundraising event has honored and celebrated Austin’s emerging professionals and their mentors who are making an impact in our community. The Young Men’s Business League (YMBL) of Austin hosts a series of events, culminating with the Austin Under 40 Awards gala—a black tie event honoring and celebrating Austin’s emerging professionals under the age of 40. These individuals are recognized in 18 categories, including Austinite of the Year.

All proceeds raised from the gala support Austin Sunshine Camps.
