Coaches Luncheon

One of the main events of the 40th annual Circle City Classic Weekend, the luncheon will take place on Friday, September 27, at Lucas Oil Stadium. Since its inception in 1987, The Major Taylor Award has been presented to African American athletes, coaches, athletic administrators, and officials who not only make a significant local and national contribution to youth but also encourage excellence in future generations. Past recipients are Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Muhammad Ali, Jerry Rice, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, Coach Tony Dungy, Tamika Catchings, and Robert Mathis. To date, IBE has given over $5 million in scholarships to Indiana students.
