Thanks to the Chicago Bears, the NFF Chicago Metro Chapter Awards Ceremony will be at Halas Hall (1000 Football Drive, Lake Forest), which is rarely open to the public. Thanks to a dollar-for-dollar match by Bears Care, $18,000 in college scholarships will be provided. This event is SOLD OUT. Details are provided below.

Monday, February 22, 2010 from 3:30-6pm at Halas Hall (1000 Football Drive in Lake Forest).
College scholarships will be provided to Chicago area high school seniors that excel on the football field, in the classroom and in the community. Scholarship recipients were nominated by their high school football coach in November 2009, and the three 2010 Scholar-Athlete Award recipients are Eddie Keating (De La Salle Institute), Darvis PridGeon (Proviso East High School) and Ross Sauer (Grayslake North High School).

American Youth Hall of Famer Carl Allegretti will receive the prestigious NFF Outstanding Contribution to Amateur Football Award. Luke Lizen and Nick Allegretti will be honored with the NFF Courage Award for the way they teamed up off the football field to help family members successfully win battles with health-related issues. Fred Mitchell will present the first-ever Fred Mitchell Award to Wisconsin-Whitewater's Jeff Schebler, the top Division II or Division III place-kicker based on performance on the football field and in the community.
