High School Award Programs

Starting in 2012 The Chuck Ealey Foundation has worked with Leadership Toledo and Buckeye Cable Sports Network (BCSN) along with high school coaches and guidance counselors across Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan to identify student leaders and athletes that live, share and demonstrate through their actions, in every aspect of their life, an Undefeated Spirit.

We do not honor great athletes, community leaders and business leaders simply because they are great at what they do. We honor them because they live, share and demonstrate through their actions, in every aspect of their life, an Undefeated Spirit. We seek out, recognize, reinforce and reward students leaders and student athletes that use their Undefeated Spirit to advance themselves, their education, their peers, their team and their community.
