ASC Athletes of the Year and Scholarship Winners

What an unforgettable evening on May 21 as we celebrated Alexandria’s exceptional student-athletes at the 69th Annual Alexandria Sportsman’s Club Awards Banquet!

We were proud to honor the remarkable young men and women from our city’s high schools and Recreation Department—their dedication, talent, and achievements continue to inspire our entire community.

This year, we reached an exciting milestone—awarding 22 scholarships totaling $55,000! This included 20 Marion and Rick Moon Scholarships and two Vocational Scholarships, each valued at $2,500, helping support these outstanding students as they pursue their futures.

A heartfelt thank you to our generous supporters and everyone who helped make the night such a memorable celebration of excellence.

✨ Take a look at the highlights and relive the magic! ✨
