The Legends for Charity Dinner Presenting the Pat Summerall Award has been a Super Bowl weekend highlight for twenty years. This year, on February 6 and in partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the ceremony will honor an Irish legend: 1983 Notre Dame graduate Hannah Storm.

The Pat Summerall Award recognizes those who have made significant contributions to the sports world and their broader community, and Hannah Storm is only the second woman to receive this prestigious award, which she richly deserves for her exemplary career in sports journalism and dedicated support of charitable organizations. The sports world is a better place due to Hannah Storm’s contributions, and SMAC is proud to congratulate her on this outstanding honor!
