Over the weekend, South Carolina football team member Ryan Hilinski and his family were the recipients of an honorable award that reaches much further than sports.
On Sunday, Hilinski’s Hope was recognized as the recipient of ENSPIRE Award. The award was created in honor of former ESPN newscaster Stuart Scott, who lost a battle with cancer at the age of 49, but whom used his platform to promote awareness of the illness to a large audience.
The award celebrates people that have taken risk and used an innovative approach to helping the disadvantaged through the power of sports.
