This year, award recipients were chosen in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan—near Hyundai America Technical Center, Inc. and the new Safety Test and Investigation Laboratory in Superior Township

Hyundai Motor America is donating $45,000 ($15,000 each) to 3N1 Fitness Revolution, A-Square Fight Club, and Issa’s Pizza as part of the Progress Project, supporting black-owned small businesses in a region.
