Gibson Awards Banquet

The men who have made America’s favorite pastime what it is today were honored and celebrated at the Gibson Awards at the Senator John Heinz History Center, presented by the Josh Gibson Foundation and the Jerry Malloy Negro League Conference. A VIP Reception with Lou Brock, former player for the St. Louis Cardinals and Hall of Fame member, kicked off the event. Post-reception, more than 325 guests moved on to enjoy a fabulous dinner and live auction. The night raised $15,000 to benefit the Josh Gibson Foundation’s mission to establish a history and learning center in the Homestead community to reach out to families and youth.
