Do you have a player on one of your high school’s athletic teams that exemplifies the values of excellence, integrity, effectiveness, teamwork and balance? Does this athlete consistently demonstrate these qualities, while elevating the performance and integrity of their teammates and the program/school? Nominate them for the 2021 65 Honor Roll!

In conjunction with the Patrick Mannelly Award which recognizes the top collegiate longsnapper, and in honor of the number he wore as the longest-tenured member of the Chicago Bears, the 65 Honor Roll was established. The #65 Honor Roll will consist of 10 high school athletes – male or female – across Chicagoland that Patrick Mannelly and Bernie's Book Bank believe best exemplify the values that these two organizations pride themselves on. Bernie's Book Bank is the leading provider of free quality books to under-served Chicagoland children and the proud beneficiary of the Patrick Mannelly Award.

Please complete the information below about your nominee for the #65 Honor Roll.
