2020 Kaboom! Awards: Carl Grose Service Award

PEORIA, IL - The 2020 Kaboom! Awards, presented by RE/MAX Traders Unlimited and supported by PNC, continue Thursday afternoon with the presentation of the finalists and announcement of the winner of the 37th Carl Grose Service Award.

The Carl Grose Service Award was established in 1980 in honor of Carl Grose, Bradley's long-time equipment manager and "Jack-of-all-Trades". Mr. Grose, a Peoria resident, worked for the Athletic Department for approximately 50 years. No job was ever too small for Carl. He did everything from laundry and handling out equipment to cutting the grass. He loved Bradley Athletics and working with the student-athletes.
