On Thursday June 9, 2022, Variety welcomed back their superb athletes for the Variety Village Athletic Club Awards Ceremony.

It was surreal to be able to welcome back these incredible people to celebrate their achievements after not being able to for two years. It was a special night, and many tears were shed as 14 awards were given out to 35 deserving individuals.

Rory Stringer (Flames Swim team) and Nate Westergaard (weightlifting) each received the Debbie Burns Memorial Award. The award recognizes two outstanding individuals who go above and beyond their training to show selfless acts of kindness in the community.
 
Madison Ambos (Flames Swim team) and Claire Pearson (Taekwondo) both received the Mike Devine Award. This award recognizes two athletes who show a relentless pursuit of excellence.
