SagerStrong Hometown Hero Award
The SagerStrong Foundation Hometown Hero program honors a pediatric leukemia patient annually that embodies everything the SagerStrong Foundation stands for: perseverance, strength and, above all, courage. The program was created in Craig Sager’s memory to inspire and “lift up” young patients in their fight to know they have so many others “fighting” in their corner with them. Learn More here:
