Ever eager to recognize the spirit of sport, the Calgary Booster Club hands its most prestigious award, Sportsperson of the Year, to a deserving candidate, someone whose volunteer contributions are well-established.

A distinguished collection of Honoured Athletic Leaders will also be feted at the Gala, a one-of-a-kind fixture on the local sporting calendar.

Decorated on the day, too, are the athletes — ranging from up-and-coming hopefuls to primetime performers, including our Athletes of the Year, male and female and Special Olympian. And, in a scene as vibrant as ours, there is no end of worthy candidates.
