What happened: Tri-C gives the Community Champion Award to organizations that support students’ lives and career paths. Faculty and staff nominate candidates for the honor.
Why it matters: The award follows other recognition for the Cavaliers’ off-court work in 2026. In January, the franchise received the NBA’s Team of the Year and Inclusion Leadership awards.
By the numbers: Tri-C recognizes Community Champions in three categories: individual, small business with fewer than 50 employees and large business with more than 50 employees.
What to watch: The recipients will be honored through Tri-C’s 2026 Celebration Breakfast program.
