About the Award
The history and significance of the Lombardi Award are deeply rooted in the legacy of Coach Vince Lombardi and his commitment to character, discipline, and excellence. Just weeks after Coach Vince Lombardi’s passing in 1970 due to colon cancer, the Rotary Club of Houston established the Lombardi Award with the authorization of Vince Lombardi’s widow, Marie, and his sister, Madeline Lombardi Werner.

Following the wishes of the Lombardi family, net proceeds from Gala sponsorship and table sales are dedicated to supporting cancer research and families/patients battling cancer. This commitment is in honor of Coach Vince Lombardi, who tragically lost his life to the disease. Since the inception of the Lombardi Award in 1970, charitable fundraising services have been an integral part of the initiative. Notably, these efforts have raised millions of dollars to advance cancer research programs.
