Repeat Champions is the brainchild of Sarino Genovese (the uncle of Lianna Genoves, famous for the invention of "Guided Hands"). 

Since inception, Repeat Champions has received 25,585 donated trophies, refurbished 10,655 trophies and awarded 6597 trophis to desserving children!

The vision of Repeat Champions is:
At Repeat Champions Foundation, we believe every child deserves to feel like a champion. Our vision is to recycle and repurpose trophies—keeping them out of landfills and placing them into the hands of new young champions. By repeating the cycle of recognition, we pass on a legacy of pride, encouragement, and hope.We strive to build communities where children and teens are seen, celebrated, and empowered. Every child matters, and every child should experience the joy of being recognized.Together, we can reward more youth, reduce waste, and build a more inclusive future—one trophy at a time.

All club members and past and prospective members are invited to join in a fascinating evening.  Pizza from Hamilton's famous "Cowabunga Pizza", red wine and pop will be available.  Plese bring $15 cash to cover expenses.  Use the West Door, not Main Entrance.  Look for our poster
