The annual event honors male and female lacrosse Student-Athletes in the Greater Charlotte Region. Recognizing athletic success, leadership, character and academics are the primary goals of this star-studded event. On April 27th, the lacrosse communities will gather at SMS Catering to honor the best and brightest student athletes that have worked so hard over the last year to achieve success.
This prestigious awards night has become a very special evening for athletes, coaches, teams, families and friends. The one night of the year when the entire Greater Charlotte lacrosse community comes together as one to recognize outstanding achievements on and off the field of play.
The Charlotte Lacrosse Awards Dinner was founded as a sister event to the 18th Annual Greater Charlotte Hot Stove League Baseball and Softball Awards Dinners. Inside the family, owner Tripp Roakes also operates the 13th Annual Charlotte Football and Cheerleading Awards, also known as the Friday Night Lights Awards. and the 4th Annual Charlotte Track and Field / Cross Country Awards. Roakes, Founder of South Charlotte Sports Report and South Charlotte Sports operates these events to provide a special spotlight onto local student-athletes and their families, rewarding them for all the time and dedication they have given to their sport.
Nominations are now open at www.CharlotteLacrosseAwards.com and will be open until April 1st Finalists will be notified at that time of their selection and will begin to prepare for the special evening.
