The Annual Good Sportsmanship Award
in Memory of Donna Enerson
Every year the Chapter presents an award (traveling trophy) to a good sportsman from among the members of LVCCDS. This award is sponsored by Charlotte Nielson in memory of Las Vegas dressage rider Donna Marie Enerson.
Donna lived in Las Vegas for 19 years before her death in 2008. She was an avid dressage rider in our Chapter, reaching her stated goal of making it into the Western Regional Championships in 2007.
Charlotte has said, ‘Donna defined good sportsmanship. She always helped out before, during, and after every show. She never balked at the hard work and loved to get dirty. She donated time, prizes, and baked goods. Even when she was eliminated for jumping out of the court, she was not discouraged.”
The LVCCDS would like to honor Donna by presenting this award to a deserving member who exhibits a positive attitude; shows respect to teammates, coaches, officials and opponents; practices self-control and handles winning as well as loss with character.
The traveling trophy will be presented at the Annual Awards Banquet and Silent Auction on December 3, 2023. Please contact us with your nomination. Give us the name of your nominee and tell us why he/she deserves this prestigious award from LVCCDS.
