The Annual Team DC Night Of Champions, which supports the Team DC College Scholarship for LGBT Student-Athletes, is scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2015.
Reception is at 6:00 P.M.; formal dinner and awards commence at 7:30.
We will also hold a silent auction in conjunction with the
event, the proceeds from which will benefit the scholarship program.
Please work with your other team leaders to send a contingent to the Night of Champions. It is an inspiring evening of comradery and great food, and it serves a great cause.
In addition to presenting scholarship checks to several openly LGBT athletes, the Night of Champions allows us an opportunity to honor some of our own; those among us who have helped support --and in some instances create-- the LGBT sports community. Each year we present the following three awards, based on nominations for Team DC's constituent clubs:
. The MVP Award recognizes individuals that have made a significant contribution to their sport club or tournament over the past year.
. The Trailblazer Award recognizes individuals that have worked for years to support and in some cases, establish their teams and tournaments.
. The Community Support Award recognizes organizations that have supported
the teams and the entire LGBT sporting community.
Please see the attached link for information on the award nomination process, and a list of all previous winners. Nominations must be received by September 1, 2015 and should be sent to our Executive Director, Brent Minor, at brent@teamdc.org.
The work of ensuring that LGBT sports teams thrive and endure is difficult, and frequently goes unrecognized. Please consider making a nomination.
Please stay alert to updates on the venues, announcement of the award/scholarship winners, and information on purchasing tickets for the event.
