The Vasiloff Award
The George Vasiloff Award has been established by the Avon Lake Sports Hall of Fame Committtee to recognize individuals in the community who, by their actions, accomplishments, demeanor and positive manner, have supported athletics in Avon Lake.
The committee sought to honor a gentleman who was committed to the community, had a remarkable appreciation of athletics, was always willing to lend a hand and was visible at practically every imaginable event. George Vasiloff, an original Hall of Fame Committee member, was a great "friend of sports" in this town and epitomized the positive sports backer.
