Recognize an Outstanding Junior or Teen Member The Member Events Committee is proud to sponsor the Al Tauscher Junior and Teen Recognition Awards. Starting in December, they are seeking applications from outstanding juniors and teens for 2024. Named after Al Tauscher, a community volunteer and athlete who was part of Multnomah Athletic Club for more than 50 years, the awards recognize positive behavior among the teen and junior members of the club. The awards place an emphasis on students’ overall participation in school and community rather than excellence in a singular discipline or pursuit. A dinner is held in the spring to recognize the winners of the award with a congratulatory certificate, and all recipients are featured in The Winged M with a write-up and photo. To honor the community connections and leadership of these remarkable MAC members, the Multnomah Athletic Foundation also provides a $300 grant for each recipient to donate to a foundation community grant partner.
