Philadelphia Sports Congress Release
PHILADELPHIA - On July 2, the Philadelphia Sports Congress will present Temple great Tina Sloan Green with a Lifetime Achievement Award at their annual awards luncheon in the Wanamaker Building's Crystal Tea Room. Sloan Green will be doubly awarded, as she is also the co-founder of the Black Women in Sport Foundation which is being recognized with the Robert P. Levy Community Service Award.
The 2014 John Wanamaker Athletic Award will be presented to LeSean McCoy, a record-breaking running back for the Philadelphia Eagles. That award has been bestowed since 1961 by the Philadelphia Sports Congress, a division of the Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau (PHLCVB), in conjunction with Amerimar/Behringer Harvard. It recognizes the athlete, team or organization that has done the most to reflect credit upon Philadelphia and to the team or sport in which they excel.
Sloan Green, a member of five Halls of Fame, was the head coach for Temple women's lacrosse from 1973 to 1992 and was the first African-American head coach in the history of women's intercollegiate lacrosse. She led the Owls to three National Championships and 11 consecutive NCAA Final Four appearances.
This past November, Sloan Green was inducted into the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame as part of Class X. She is also in the US Lacrosse Hall of Fame, Temple Hall of Fame, West Chester Hall of Fame and the Women's Sports Foundation Hall of Fame.
She co-founded the Black Women in Sport Foundation (BWSF) in 1992, and since assuming the helm, has worked to ensure that young underserved minority students gain full exposure to nontraditional sports. The foundation also works to provide healthy alternatives to at-risk women and children in all aspects of sport. The BWSF will be receiving the Robert P. Levy Community Service Award at the luncheon, presented to an individual or organization that has done the most to "improve the quality of life in Philadelphia through sports."
