F​ounder's Cup Award

The Founders' Cup is a coveted award that is passed along as a perpetual trophy each year. The previous year’s recipient polls the team to decide on a member who embodies all of the criteria for membership listed in the Team Bylaws, but in some way goes beyond those values as well.

This is not simply an award for speed. Over the years, the members receiving this award have been selected based on a wide variety of accomplishments. But in all cases, they have made a significant contribution to the Team.  

In 2016, the Stockton Cup was renamed the Founders' Cup to honor the team's founding members, Karen Cox and Sue Johnston. The team is grateful for their courage, strength, vision, and inspiration. These core values have been upheld since the team's inception in 1979, and this legacy is carried forward by the recipients of the Cup.
