The Dan Fitzgerald Against All Odds Awards will continue to be supported by a scholarship established at the Innovaia Foundation.

This designated endowment will distribute annually to Spokane Sports Commission for scholarships to graduating high school student athletes from qualifying local high schools in Spokane, Lincoln, Whitman, Ferry, Stevens, Pend Oreille, Adams, Grant or Douglas Counties in Washington State with demonstrated financial need and academic success, who have overcome social, economic and/or physical obstacles to achieve successful athletic performance.
