Edgewood, KY – High school athletes and families: Forget those long, obligatory, end-of-year sports banquets. St. Elizabeth Healthcare now celebrates Northern Kentucky sports with a new awards event called the “NKYs”—a fun and engaging celebration of high school, sports. Think of the NKYs as the ESPY awards for Northern Kentucky high schools, an exciting finale to the 2018-19 athletic season.
“Our goal is to recognize the hard work and commitment of our local athletes, coaches and athletic trainers by hosting a modern, fun interactive event that people will look forward to attending year after year,” said Scott Helton, St. Elizabeth Director of Sports Medicine and Athletic Training Services.
The 2019 NKYs presented by St. Elizabeth in conjunction with Fox 19 will occur on Sunday, June 2 at the St. Elizabeth Training and Education Center (SETEC) at 3861 Olympic Blvd. in Erlanger, Kentucky. Fox 19 sports anchors Joe Danneman and Jeremy Rauch will emcee the event.

During the evening, organizers will reveal the NKYs award for Male Athlete of the Year, Female Athlete of the Year, Play of the Year, plus a few non-traditional awards such as Best Performance, Best Social Feed, and Best Multimedia Program. The NKYs award celebration will also feature video submissions from the 2018-19 games of the month, as well as fan voting on a variety of categories both before and during the event.
