"With Hope It's Possible"
With so little recognition for amateur athletes, Fitz "The WHIP" Vanderpool is adding another event to his repertoire; The WHIP AWARDS. Launching for the first time on April 16, 2010, the first Annual WHIP Awards Banquet promises to be a spectacular evening.
Fitzroy Vanderpool of Kitchener is the winner of five professional boxing titles, including the World Boxing Federation's Super Welterweight World Champion. He has since become a pillar in the community, and a mentor and advocate for the next generation of athletes. Fitz also continues to give back to the KW community through coaching, participating in charity events.
The WHIP Awards will include dinner and the awards presentation for six athletic categories from all sports in the Tri-Cities region. The categories are:
-
Junior Male Amateur Athlete of the year
-
Junior Female Amateur Athlete of the year
-
Senior Male Amateur Athlete of the year
-
Senior Female Amateur Athlete of the year
-
Coach of the year
-
Team of the year
We encourage you to pass this information on to the coaches and teachers at your schools in order to submit nominations. Nominations will be accepted until Friday March 26, at 4:00PM. You are also invited to continue to support local amateur athletes by attending the event. Tickets are on sale now and can be ordered by emailing the Whip Awards.
For more information on nominations or tickets, or any questions you may have please email info@whipawards.com
Hope to see you there!
