Ed Block Courage Award
The Ed Block Courage Award is an annual award presented to selected players in the National Football League (NFL), who are voted by their teammates as role models of inspiration, sportsmanship, and courage. Named in memory of Ed Block, a well-liked humanitarian and trainer for the Baltimore Colts, the award is administered by the Ed Block Courage Award Foundation. Sponsorship proceeds promote the prevention of child abuse by raising awareness of the epidemic and assisting agencies who provide for the care and treatment of abused children.
==Purpose and development==
Ed Block was head athletic trainer for the Baltimore Colts from 1954 to 1977.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Ed Block Courage Award Foundation )〕 He had earned a master's degree from the University of Missouri in 1937 and, following service as an Army officer in World War II, a doctorate in rehabilitation and physical therapy from Columbia University.〔 Block was also a physical therapist at a Baltimore, Maryland, hospital for disabled children. Following his retirement as Colts' trainer, local community leaders led by Baltimore businessman Sam Lamantia Jr. began an annual award in Block's honor in 1978, recognizing a Colts player for outstanding character.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Ed Block Courage Award Foundation )〕 In 1984, the award was expanded when players on other NFL teams began to be similarly recognized. In 1986, the Ed Block Courage Award Foundation was incorporated as a charitable organization with Sam Lamantia Jr. as its CEO.〔〔 The ''Ed Block Courage Award'' has since expanded to all 32 NFL teams.
The Baltimore-based foundation's twin objectives are to celebrate players of inspiration in the NFL and to raise public awareness and support prevention of child abuse. Radio public service announcements, along with televised programs, internet, and print media, are used by the foundation in furtherance of its mission.
