And the Nominees Are…VIA Announces 2025 Award Nominees Ahead of Mad Hatters Ball
The Valley Industry Association is pleased to announce the nominees for the 2025 VIA Awards, which will be presented at this year’s VIA BASH: Mad Hatters Ball on Friday, October 24, at the Hyatt Regency Valencia.
These awards honor individuals and organizations who exemplify service, innovation, and impact within the Santa Clarita Valley. Each nominee has demonstrated exceptional commitment to their community, industry, and the mission of VIA.
The winners will be announced during VIA’s highly anticipated annual BASH, an evening filled with connection, celebration, and a dash of whimsical fun. This year’s Mad Hatters Ball theme invites guests to step into a world of imagination and curiosity, where formal recognition meets fantastical charm.
In addition to the awards presentation, the evening will include a lively cocktail hour, dinner, dancing, and a few surprises along the way—all supporting VIA’s programs, including Connecting to Success, which provides career-readiness tools to high school juniors in partnership with the William S. Hart School District.
Sponsorships and tickets are now available at www.via.org/via-bash. Don’t miss your chance to support the Santa Clarita business community and take part in an unforgettable night celebrating leadership, impact, and a little bit of madness.
Celebrate with Us at the Mad Hatters Ball.
