The PCPFS wants to celebrate you and the work that you do!  The PCPFS is pleased to announce the creation of two new awards, the Lifetime Achievement Award (LAA) and the Community Leadership Award (CLA).  These awards were established by the Council to recognize the countless contributions many Americans have made to promote or enhance physical activity, fitness, or sports in this country.  With a focus on recognizing individuals who have made a national impact, the LAA serves to thank men and women who have dedicated their lives and their careers to improving the health of individuals and groups nationwide.   Up to six LAAs will be presented each year.  The CLA will recognize up to 50 individuals nationwide who have made a local impact in their State, community, club, or organization.  The goal is to recognize one individual per State.  Council members will review applications and select award winners.   Award and application information is posted on the website.  In order to be considered in 2007, applications for both awards, which include basic contact information and a brief description of the individual’s work, must be received by April 1st.  Award winners will be recognized in May National Physical Fitness and Sports Month.
