Overview
The Coaches for Character mission “emphasizes the importance of education and character development to at-risk students.” It gives them what every student deserves, hope and a chance to succeed in life.

The CHAMP Awards, our signature event, is a unique initiative and partnership with Charleston County Schools through which 88 “Unsung Heroes” (i.e. CHAMPS) from all 44 Charleston County middle schools and high schools are honored. The CHAMPS are comprised of students who have overcome tremendous odds to achieve wonderful things in their churches, schools, homes or communities but have never been recognized for doing so. Their selection is based on character, academic effort, community service, and overcoming odds
