Part of the mission of QCYSF is to recognize individuals who have given a big part of their lives to help our youth and youth sports improve.


The "Pillar Of Light" award is given each year to nominated individuals that have gone above and beyond to make a difference.  A "Pillar" is a strong foundation that maintains stability over time..  "Light" enhances growth, development, and enthusiasm.  


Each year during the IHMVCU Shootout selected individuals will be honored at halftime of the feature game and awarded the QCYSF "Pillar Of Light"


If you would like to nominate someone that you feel has made an incredible impact on our youth and youth sports please use the nomination form
