    Bob Costas

    Bob Costas is one of the most decorated broadcasters in sports television history, having hosted a record number of Olympic Games broadcasts for NBC and won more Sports Emmy Awards than any broadcaster in the medium's history, across a career covering baseball, football, basketball, and the Olympics.

    Costas has long supported causes tied to children's health and education, including establishing the Robert Costas Scholarship at Syracuse University for aspiring journalists and lending decades of support to the SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital community in St. Louis. He has also supported the Wounded Warrior Project, the Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis, and Baseball Assistance Team, which provides financial help to members of the baseball community in need.

    Westcoast Sports Associates presented Bob Costas with the Roy Firestone Award in 2016, honoring a broadcasting career defined by both excellence and consistent generosity toward causes in the communities he covered.
