The event was presented by Cornerstone Companies and held at East Pointe Country Club, where Team Sports Ministries honored six outstanding football student-athlete nominees. Each nominee exemplified the qualities of a "Man of Character," earning awards and scholarships for their dedication both on and off the field. This year's nominees achieved academic GPAs ranging from 3.3 to 4.6 (weighted) and received numerous academic and team accolades. Congratulations to this year's nominees: David Lubin (Overall Man of Character Trophy winner and nominee), Preston Douglas, Joshua Joseph, Joseph DeSantis, Dante DeSantis, and Quinn Lundgren.

At the banquet, we were pleased to have our returning MC, Tim Lyons, along with several recipients who delivered speeches on key principles that our team has mentored throughout the year. Our speakers included Joshua Joseph (Jupiter Christian High School), David Lubin (Palm Beach Gardens High School), Mario Jackson (Administrator Coach), Barkley Wyckoff (TSM Mentor & Coach), and Gerald Hearns (TSM President). Shandra Stringer, Founder & CEO of The Village Speaks Talk Show, blessed our program by conducting one-on-one media interviews with each nominee. We extend our gratitude to all our sponsors, donors, coaches, families, East Pointe Country Club, volunteers, staff, players, and everyone involved in making this event a success. Your support is vital to our vision and mission.
