Star of the Month Celebration - Rewarding Student-Athletes

The John Lynch Foundation hosted the Star of the Month Celebration on Monday, May 7th at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium, which recognized and rewarded monthly winners from the Denver area for their extraordinary efforts in academics, athletics and community involvement.

John and Linda Lynch presented the Star of the Month; Rising Star of the Month; and Coach of the Month awards to winners from October through April. The 60 monthly winners and their families were invited to attend the ceremony which was held in the United Club Level of the stadium.

The Star of the Month Celebration was the culmination of a year long award system, that seeks to encourage and provide positive recognition for student-athletes and coaches who are doing the right thing and going above and beyond in the classroom, in their chosen sport and in the community.

Each month teachers and coaches can nominate students for the awards through the JLF website. A volunteer selection committee then reviews the nominations and determines the winners.
