AYF Hall of Fame adds eight new members
American Youth Football is proud to announce the new enshrinees to
the AYF Hall of Fame!
American Youth Football's highest honor is bestowed upon those who
have dedicated their lives to serving youth for more than 25 years.
This award distinguishes American Youth Football as a Community of
Exemplary Leaders. Other youth organizations are merely corporations
or business enterprises. The efforts of these individuals encouraged
youth to "complete the circle of giving back" to their
communities -- the mission of American Youth Football.
Congratulations!
The induction will take place Wednesday, December 10 during the AYF
National Championships in Central Florida. Former Chicago Bears Coach
Mike Ditka of ESPN will present the recipients with their AYF Hall of
Fame Rings.
