ASA and MUSCO - BRIGHT LIGHT AWARD
OKLAHOMA CITY --- The Amateur Softball
Association (ASA) of America and Musco
Lighting unveiled today a new national award
called the “Bright Light Award.” This award
honors an ASA registered Junior Olympic (JO)
team who has shown a commitment to the
community through service and volunteerism.
The first of its kind, the “Bright Light
Award” process includes an application form
(attached) with detailed specifics for
consideration.
“On behalf of Musco, it is an honor to
partner with the ASA on the new Bright Light
Award to recognize a team’s effort off the
field in the community,” said Musco
representative and two-time Olympic gold
medalist Michele Smith. “Musco values team
building and fun atmospheres that help
develop strong relationships with youth,
families and communities. This new Bright
Light program should encourage teams to do
more off the field to develop well rounded
individuals, with the communities- as well
as the athletes being the beneficiaries.”
The inaugural award winning team will
receive $2,000 towards registration fees for
any 2012 ASA sanctioned tournament in the
United States. The winners will also be
honored with 20 “Bright Light” T-shirts for
their roster and staff as well as a banner
for display. The award presentation will
take place on Sunday, November 6, 2011 in
Myrtle Beach, S.C., at the ASA Annual
Meeting Opening Session. (Winning team will
receive two night hotel costs; must pay own
travel costs.)
“This award is a way to recognize and give
back to ASA Junior Olympic teams that are
involved in the community and take time as a
team to help others,” said ASA Executive
Director Ron Radigonda. “We are thrilled to
work with Musco, our official lighting
partner, on this project to give back to the
teams who make ASA shine everyday both on
and off the field of play.”
The winning team will be selected by a panel
of administrators from ASA and Musco, using
the following criteria for evaluation:
-
Service must be 100% volunteer in nature (no
payment)
-
Service must be performed as a team with 75%
of the roster in attendance
-
Team must be ASA Registered by August 31,
2011
-
Service must take place from January 1, 2011
to August 31, 2011
-
Panel will take into consideration the
following: Positive effect on community,
number of people affected, impact of service
to the team, total number of hours and
participants
The application can also be found at
http://asasoftball.com/youth/.
The deadline for submission is August 31,
2011 (application attached) and the winning
team will be announced on September 15.
