The Lauren Holiday Impact Award, presented by Nationwide, is a prestigious honor celebrating National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) players for their exceptional character and service off the pitch. Introduced in 2024 to honor the legacy of two-time Olympic gold medalist and World Cup champion Lauren Holiday, this award spotlights athletes who go above and beyond to uplift their local communities, with the ultimate winner, chosen by a dedicated panel, receiving a $50,000 donation for a charity of their choice.
This year, Denver Summit FC is incredibly proud to announce Carson Pickett as our club’s nominee, recognizing her dedication to using her platform to drive meaningful change in Denver and beyond through her work with Hand Camp Colorado.
