In 2025, the Tewaaraton Award will be celebrating its 25th year recognizing the best male and female college lacrosse players in partnership with the Native American community.

“I am honored to join the board of the Tewaaraton Foundation, an organization that represents the highest peak of excellence in lacrosse,” said Kevin Ridgway. “I am thrilled to contribute to a foundation that celebrates not only remarkable achievements on the field but also the character and impact of its recipients off the field.”
