This innovative and inclusive award was developed by the Clark County School District, in partnership with Creation 4 Cause and 702 Sports: OTS, with the mission to recognize and honor students in the Clark County community who face unique personal challenges, but are going above and beyond to achieve their dreams and goals in both academics and athletics.
A different student from the Clark County School District with a special ability will be nominated and surprised with this award every school quarter. Please check out Creation 4 Cause's website and social media for more details on these episodes or https://ccsd.net/ to find out more.
