Your Support Will Help Tackle Cancer

The Rotary Club of Houston established the Rotary Lombardi Award in 1970 shortly after the death of Vince Lombardi from cancer. The award recognizes the top Division I college football lineman on either offense or defense.

Phil Steele is proud to serve among the more than 500 members of the Rotary Lombardi Award voting committee.

All proceeds from the event benefit the American Cancer Society. To date the event has generated millions of dollars to fund cancer research, public education and direct services to cancer patients.
