The History of the Rotary Lombardi Award and the connection to the Rotary Club of Houston

Just weeks after Coach Vince Lombardi’s death in 1970 from colon cancer, the Rotary Club of Houston was authorized by Vince Lombardi’s widow, Marie, to establish the Rotary Lombardi Award. The Rotary Lombardi Award goes annually to the college football lineman, offense or defense, or linebacker who, in addition to outstanding performance and ability, best exemplifies the discipline of Vince Lombardi. As stipulated by Mrs. Lombardi, net proceeds from the Award activities are contributed to Cancer Research and children who cannot afford treatment to fight the disease that claimed the life of Coach Lombardi. Since the award’s inception in 1970, millions of dollars has been raised to help programs of cancer research, public education and direct services to cancer patients.
