The ceremony will also honor student-athletes, including Conor Campbell, who grew up in Bergen County and attends the College of New Jersey.
Wednesday, July 10, 2024 11:20PMThe stage is set for the 2024 ESPY Awards, a ceremony that honors athletes on their performances and achievements, but it's not just pro athletes receiving awards.
Campbell has dedicated more than 300 hours to creating affordable access to kids who want to play sports. Most notably, he developed a basketball and enrichment program for elementary and middle school students.On top of that, when Trenton cut sports programs due to budget constraints, Campbell contacted the New Jersey Senate, the education commissioner and the Senate Budget Committee chair to reinstate them.
"It was just always a part of me, a part of my family to give back to the community," Campbell said. "I'm so blessed to have a family like that. Everyone deserves that, and everyone deserves a place where they can just go and have fun and feel safe and secure. It's just amazing what this award stands for. It stands for over 50 years of change and social justice for women and men and sports. I'm so incredibly blessed to be a part of this.
Campbell will get his award in a ceremony in Hollywood that will take place immediately before the ESPY's. As for the big awards show, you can watch the 32nd annual ESPY Awards Thursday at 8 p.m. on Channel 7.
