News 2 is proud to be part of Coaches for Characters’ Champ Awards, an annual award that recognizes eighth and twelfth-grade Charleston County students who may go unnoticed.

These individuals demonstrate character, community service, academic effort, and overcoming odds.

The award is designed to honor true “Unsung Heroes.” The nomination process, managed by Charleston County school counselors, focuses on identifying and selecting students who often go unnoticed, even though they have accomplished wonderful things in their community, church, home, or school. Their selection is based on character, community service, academic effort, and overcoming odds. 

A celebration will be held at 7:00 p.m. on April 4 at the Gilliard Auditorium where these selected students will be recognized. The 2023 Champ Awards will feature American professional basketball player and former Gamecock A’ja Wilson.
