… Charlotte Event To Honor Football and Cheer Student Athletes
The 14th Annual Friday Night Lights Awards Dinner proudly returns to honor the best and brightest Football and Cheer Student Athletes in the Greater Charlotte Region.
On December 6th in Charlotte, the Football and Cheer families that make Friday Night Lights so special will gather to honor the best and brightest student athletes that have worked so hard over the last year to achieve success. Due to the continued growth of the event, for the first time ever, Cheer and Football will hold their own event on that day! we recognized that while each sport plays a huge role in the success of Friday Night Lights, that it was time to let each sport shine on their own at this special event.
This prestigious awards night has become a very special evening for football players, cheerleaders, coaches, teams, families and friends. This is the one night of the year when the entire Greater Charlotte football, and cheer communities come together as one to recognize outstanding achievements on and off the football field. Over the last 14 years, finalists have included student-athletes now competing in the NFL and at top-ranked colleges across the country (Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Iowa, Florida State, Notre Dame, West Virginia, Stanford, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Wake Forest, South Carolina, Clemson and many more).
The Friday Night Lights Awards Dinner was founded as a sister event to the 19th Annual Greater Charlotte Hot Stove League Baseball and Softball Awards Dinners and the 7th Annual Piedmont Hot Stove League Baseball and Softball Awards Dinner. Inside the family, youth sports leader, Tripp Roakes also operates the 9th Annual Charlotte Lacrosse Awards and the 6th Annual Charlotte Track and Field Awards. Roakes operates these events to provide a special spotlight onto local student-athletes and their families, rewarding them for all the time and dedication they have given to their sport.
“I am very excited to operate our 14th Annual event in Charlotte and honor all these amazing football players and cheerleaders,” Roakes said. “The timing was right to hold a separate event for each sport and I am very excited about that! We will have athletes from all around the Charlotte regional area being honored!”
