VIXEN of the YEAR AWARD
The John and Kathryn Frandson Vixen of the Year Memorial Scholarship recognizes a Vixen player for their excellence both on and off the field. This award goes to those players who have impacted their community through their volunteer work as well as being a great teammate and Vixen.
You can nominate Vixen players who you believe are deserving of the award, and the top two finalist will write a final essay highlighting their accomplishments on the field, and their volunteer/charity work with the wider community.
One finalist will be selected as a recipient of the award, and given a $500 scholarship toward their player fees, and a $250 donation will be made in their name to a charity of their choice.
Nominations for the 2022 season are now open! Click here to nominate a player.
First presented for the 2018 season, the award is named to honor the lives of the late John and Kathryn Frandson, (parents of former Vixen Mary Frandson), who both passed away during the 2017 season.
