1 About the Game Changer Awards
Media Sponsor:
Every year, Coaching Corps Game Changer Awards celebrates the transformative power of coaching by honoring those who have empowered and inspired athletes at every level to be their best selves.
Presenters and honorees are prominent representatives from Bay Area professional sports teams, including the Oakland Athletics, San Jose Earthquakes, San Francisco 49ers, San Francisco Giants, Oakland Raiders, San Jose Sharks, and Golden State Warriors. These professional athletes will be honoring a coach who made a difference in their lives. However, the true hero of the evening will be one of our Coaching Corps coaches who will be honored with a Coach of the Year Award.
This one-of-a-kind event raises funds to ensure that all youth — regardless of circumstance — have the chance to develop character through sports with a caring and trained Coaching Corps coach. Since its inception, the Game Changer Awards has raised over $4 million dollars toward Coaching Corps’ mission.
