Click here to read the feature article, "How the Lombardi Awards Helps Tackle Cancer", in the October 2024 edition of "Rotary Magazine" about this iconic award. This award is a recognition of character, discipline, and excellence on and off the field which honors the true essence of sportsmanship.
Just weeks after Coach Vince Lombardi's passing in 1970 due to colon cancer, the Rotary Club of Houston established the Lombardi Award with the authorization of Vince Lombardi's widow, Marie, and his sister, Madeline Lombardi Werner. Following the wishes of the Lombardi family, net proceeds from Gala sponsorship and table sales are dedicated to supporting cancer research and families/patients battling cancer.
