AWARD OF EXCELLENCE | MARCH 1, 2025

Thank you to everyone who attended the 34th annual Vince Lombardi Award of Excellence dinner, held in the sold-out ballroom of the Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee.

We were honored to celebrate the 2025 honorees Mason & Molly Crosby as individuals who capture the spirit of commitment and pursuit of excellence which define legendary Green Bay Packers Head Coach Vince Lombardi. New this year, the foundation recognized Dr. David Margolis with the first-ever Champion for a Cure Award, honoring local leaders who embody that same spirit of commitment and excellence in the fight against cancer.

Funds raised during the unforgettable, black-tie event directly support cancer research and treatments, celebrating the legacy of Coach Lombardi through the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation's mission to prevent cancer, provide superior patient care, and find a cure.

about the honorees

Mason Crosby is the Packers’ all-time leading scorer and holds the NFL record for the most consecutive postseason field goals. He also won a Super Bowl with the Packers and holds the Packers’ franchise record for most field goals, including a dozen game-winning kicks. In 2020, Crosby had a perfect season for the first time in his career, making 16 of 16 field goal attempts.

Molly Crosby is a dedicated mother of five and lung cancer survivor. She graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder, where she proudly cheered for the Buffaloes. With a strong commitment to community and leadership, Molly and Mason have served as Co-Chairs for the Vince Lombardi Golf Classic, helping to support the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation’s mission to prevent cancer, provide the best care to those fighting it, and ultimately, find a cure.

New champion for a cure award

In addition to honoring Mason & Molly for their national contributions, local leader Dr. David Margolis will be recognized at the Award of Excellence Dinner on March 1 with the first-ever Champion for a Cure Award from the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation. This award honors local leaders who embody Coach Vince Lombardi's spirit of commitment and excellence in the fight against cancer.

Dr. Margolis, or "Dr. Dave" as his patients call him, is pediatrician-in-chief at Children's Wisconsin and chair of the Department of Pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Leading medical journals have published his research, and his compassionate care has earned him recognition as one of the Best Doctors in America and Milwaukee Magazine’s Top Doctors. Dr. Dave is often referred to as a Milwaukee Bucks superfan and he is well known for having his patients, and other patients at Children’s Wisconsin, spray paint his hair Bucks' green during the Bucks playoffs every year.
