At A Springer Celebration! on April 22nd, Springer was delighted to honor Oscar Robertson as the 2009 Springer Champion for his commitment to children throughout our community - helping them to achieve success. The ceremony was made even more special when the award was presented to Oscar from his grandson, a Springer student.
Oscar Robertson, basketball legend and Cincinnati businessman, has been involved in many national and local charities and community causes and has taught or mentored hundreds of children. To name but a few of his efforts, he has coached basketball camps for children, talked with high school students about their life goals, and improved university opportunities for college age students by co-chairing (with wife, Yvonne) the University of Cincinnati's five-year $1 billion capital campaign.
