The NJCAA Foundation has announced its second annual awards event and Hall of Fame ceremony to take place Friday, June 10, 2022, at 6:30 PM ET at the Charlotte Hilton Uptown in Charlotte, NC. With a mission to recognize the best in two-year college, the event will acknowledge exemplary achievements from individuals involved with the association, past and present. The 2022 NJCAA Hall of Fame class includes Jim Thome, Spencer Haywood, Jessica McDonald, Betty Jo Graber and Lorene Ramsey. Also in attendance to be recognized from the 2021 Hall of Fame class will be John Mitchell, Larry Brown and the sons of Dick 'Night Train' Lane.
Along with the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, the association's three annual individual student-athlete awards will be recognized – the Betty Jo Graber Female Student-Athlete of the Year, the David Rowlands Male Student-Athlete of the Year, and the Lea Plarski Award.
For the second time in the association's history, two additional awards will be recognized at the awards event – the Champion Award and the Difference Maker Award.
