YEARDLEY REYNOLDS LOVE UNSUNG HERO AWARD |
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO NOMINATE
The Yeardley Reynolds Love Unsung Hero Award
The Yeardley Reynolds Love ("YRL") Unsung Hero Award recognizes the accomplishments of two student-athletes (one male, one female) who demonstrate dedication, integrity, humility, hard work, community service, leadership, kindness and sportsmanship - all qualities Yeardley exemplified throughout her life. These student-athletes make a significant contribution to the team in ways that may not be measured in goals, saves or ground balls.
Hard-working, humble, honest, kind, and enthusiastic; these individuals serve as an inspiration to their team both on the field and off. The award recipients should exhibit leadership as positive role models and also be involved in community service.
