Annual Hoosier sporting event goes digital

More by this author

Facing adversity and pushing through it. That’s what St.Vincent Sports Performance (SVSP) has celebrated for the past seven years through its annual Spirit of Sport Awards. Now, faced with the current financial situation of the health care industry, SVSP will uphold those very values it recognizes and will continue to host the awards through a digital platform.

Instead of an annual event, nominations will be accepted year-round and can be submitted online through the Spirit of Sport Awards Facebook page. Winners will be selected monthly, and announced and recognized on social media.

The awards will continue to honor student-athletes, managers, athletic trainers, coaches, administrators and industry leaders off the field who embody SVSP’s Core Values – service of the poor, reverence, integrity, wisdom, creativity and dedication.

The January Spirit of Sport Award Honoree – the Westfield High School football team – brings those values to life. The team, in addition to a winning record, is dedicated to volunteering and improving the community through efforts such as Habitat for Humanity, Henryville tornado cleanup and raising money for relief in Haiti. One fundraising effort this year even sought to aid a player at a rival school and his family after enduring a tragic loss during the season.

This team’s efforts are exactly the type of unsung virtues SVSP is committed to honoring through the Spirit of Sport Awards – those who use sport as a platform to better themselves and their communities. To join us in celebrating these accomplishments throughout the year, like the Spirit of Sport Awards on Facebook and follow SVSP on Twitter. Tune in to these channels later this week to learn more about the January honoree and their fundraising successes.

For more information on the awards, award criterion or to submit a nomination, visit the Spirit of Sport Awards Facebook page.
