As with years past, the 2014 Awards are based on:

Raising awareness for social issues while sending Challengers through some of the most beautiful places in North America. Inspiring a willingness and desire to accept personal accountability with a sense of duty and principle; to cultivate wisdom, community and compassion and to display and foster respect, harmony, peace and friendship. Creating an army of warriors with the strength to face adversity; the character to make sacrifices and the desire to come to the aid of others in need. • Empowering others to overcome obstacles that have physically, mentally or financially challenged them and know they are not in it alone. We are the vehicle that's helps move them forward and refocus them toward success.

Selecting the top nominations for these awards is one of the hardest things the Board of Directors at the conclusion of each Challenge.
