Giving a nod to those who give high school sports a boost: Excelsior Award nominations sought
Do you know a CSEA member who is making a difference in high school athletics, whether through promoting school spirit, coaching a team or volunteering time in school sports programs?
If so, nominate him or her for the 6th annual Excelsior
Award,
co-sponsored
by the New
York State
Public High
School Athletic
Association
(NYSPHSAA) and CSEA.
The union is a longtime supporter of NYSPHSAA’s high school state championships.
CSEA and the athletic association developed the Excelsior Award
to recognize a CSEA member in a
NYSPHSAA school who has helped promote and foster athletic spirit in their local school district. The award also honors an individual who has displayed extraordinary dedication and support of high school athletics in any role as a parent, coach,
booster or staff member volunteering or
performing above and beyond their daily job in a
school. “High school
athletics make communities strong,” said CSEA
President Danny Donohue. “CSEA members who work in school districts play an important role in supporting athletic programs in every part of New York, but so
do our members who are parents, coaches and boosters.”
“We are excited to team with CSEA once again to offer this award to those who go outside their daily routines to promote athletics in their community,” said NYSPHSAA Executive Director Robert Zayas. “For five years, we’ve recognized individuals making a huge difference and this year we are looking forward to honoring a CSEA member in a NYSPHSAA school once again.”
Nominations will be accepted through Feb. 1, 2016 and can be submitted by anyone online at cseany.org or nysphsaa.org (click on “FORMS”). The Excelsior Award will be presented at the NYSPHSAA Boys Basketball State Championships at the Glens Falls Civic Center on March 11-13, 2016.
