The Pelham Recreation Department held their annual Marshall Award Ceremony on Tuesday 11/12/24. This year’s recipient was Breda Bennett. The Marshall Award is presented to an individual who has made a special contribution to Pelham Recreation or Recreation-sponsored programs. The Award was established in honor of Dr. John Marshall, a noted resident of Pelham who was well known for his love of Pelham and sports as a spectator, participant and coach.  The Recreation Commission invites members of the community to nominate potential recipients for the award, in order to honor an individual who has also made a significant contribution to the lives of the members of the Pelham community.
