Presented by Mercy Health, the Urban All-American celebration begins at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 7, at The Pinnacle in Maumee. Sr. Dorothy Thum, senior vice president of mission and values integration for Mercy Health is this year’s honorary chair.
Craig Krenzel, former NFL and Ohio State quarterback, will deliver the keynote address. Krenzel led Ohio State to the 2002 National Championship and had a 24-3 record as a starting quarterback.

The award is presented to graduates of Toledo central city Catholic elementary schools who exhibit extraordinary achievement or academic, athletic or career success. Recipients must be positive role models for today’s students by demonstrating integrity, high ideals and moral character.
