Kevin R. Armstrong Ethical Leadership awarded
Basketball star and community leader Tamika Catchings will received the inaugural Kevin R. Armstrong Ethical Leadership Award, demonstrating what it means to be a legend both on the court and off.
While many know Catchings for her accomplishments as a WNBA superstar, it’s her work as co-founder of the Catch the Stars Foundation which provides youth with fitness, literacy and mentoring programs that provides the cornerstone for the award.
The Kevin R. Armstrong Ethical Leadership Award will be given annually to an Indiana resident who demonstrates a long-term commitment to strengthening the larger community through ethical leadership. The award is named for Kevin R. Armstrong, a longtime trustee at the University of Indianapolis.
Catchings was selected for the award by the UIndy Center for Ethics, part of the Philosophy and Religion Department at the University of Indianapolis. The committee was impressed by the impact that Catchings has had for almost 20 years through the non-profit Catch the Stars Foundation, making a difference in the lives of thousands of children and teens through various programs.
