And the Run to the Roar Award goes to...

Five years ago, Rolfe was approached by a friend, Jim Benz, deeply concerned by the spiraling character being displayed by local athletes. He called on Rolfe to help him create and launch a program that would inspire young athletes to commit themselves to being men and women of character on and off the field.

Instead of sitting back and letting ‘troubled’ teenagers run rampant with watered down values, Benz was determined to lead future generations down, or should I say up, the higher road..

Just last week, Character Champions, a program that recognizes students who display character "on and off the field," won the National Community Service Award awarded by the Quincy's Exchange Club. How’s that for a resounding Roar!

“Wow! What can I say?! Our members were so enthralled and inspired by what you had to say that they talked about you for the rest of the conference…your books are receiving rave reviews…one of the best speakers we have had in 23 years…”

- Christina Bridston,
Programs Coordinator
WACO

They were amazed at your knowledge of the unique characteristics of our utility and how you zeroed in on the many challenges we face. You provided thought-provoking insight that will help each of us in both our corporate and private lives.”
