Booster Club looking for Elliott award nominations

Press release

The Blue Pony Booster Club is seeking nominations for the Dr. Jim Elliott Memorial Award.

Elliott’s family gave the first award in 2001 and purchased a plaque that hangs in a trophy case in the Havre High School’s west foyer with the names of each recipient engraved on it. The Booster Club has been given the honor from the Elliot family of choosing some one to receive this award.

This award is based on volunteerism along with personal and/or professional sacrifices made for the betterment of Blue Pony activities. This award is intended to be for more than just a fan but for an individual who truly makes an impact on our High School activities and athletics.

It is made in the memory of Elliott, a Havre High School and Northern Montana College, now Montana State University-Northern, graduate and a dedicated supporter of the community and school sports and activities who practiced medicine in Havre from 1960 until he retired in 1998.

Elliott died in 2000.
