What Others Have to Say About Us

Keri Alexander Luchowski, Executive Director North Coast Athletic Conference

"We are thrilled to partner with Dr. Adams and the CKA SAVE Project. We share the goals of empowering students through rigorous academics and outstanding athletics. Developing the whole student to become a productive and successful citizen is also the Division III goal and we're proud to partner with an organization that has been highlighting the same power of sport. The CKA SAVE Project Balanced Student-Athlete Award is a fantastic way to shine a light on deserving student-athletes from our four conferences, and also to elevate their experience at the Opendorse Bowl Series.
