Bennett Awards worked with NuVasive to develop a custom awards design in the shape of a large “bowl”, with a 3-D relief on the side shaped like a cheetah with flames. The cheetah and flame relief was based on the NuVasive corporate logo. These custom corporate awards are called the “Cheetah Awards”, and are presented to NuVasive’s Cheetah Award Winners, which are their employees of the year. Two custom corporate awards were created: one perpetual custom award, which is prominently displayed in the NuVasive corporate lobby, and one additional custom award, which will be passed between the Cheetah Award Winners. These unique corporate awards were initially presented on January 30, 2010, at the NuVasive Annual Meeting & Cheetah Ball, held in San Diego, California. Moving forward, these corporate awards will be presented each year to the Cheetah Award Winner, and the winner’s name will be etched in the marble base of the perpetual corporate award that is displayed at NuVasive.

These custom awards stand approximately 13” tall. The perpetual corporate award is mounted on a 9”x9”x9” black marble base. The base is inscribed with the company name, logo, and award name, and will include the name of each Cheetah Award Winner. The travelling corporate award is mounted on a 9”x3” black marble base.

Giving can often times be a very difficult thing to do; especially since it is so much easier to receive. This reason is one of the main reasons that MK Shannon has designed "The Gift".

The Gift recognition award is one of kind that represents this idea of giving and what it truly does and how it touches each individual in its own unique way. No one can ever be certain as to how exactly how their gift will be received, but, it should be the idea that you have given that makes the difference if not in others lives, then in yours.

In today's society where the economy has made many of us takers instead of givers, we need individuals who can look past their own self indulgence. For those of us who can, whether it is in personal time or time during your corporate life, they should be recognized with The Gift recognition award.

This sculpture represents those of us who care enough to help others in their time of need. A gift can be anything that is worth something to someone else--whether it is money, time or even something as simple as encouragement--The Gift recognition award is the award for those that care.

Throughout history, women all across the world have been told that their place is in the home. Although this belief has deteriorated over time, many women still struggle to be all that they can be in a male dominated world.

The Aspire recognition award lets women know that it is ok to be the best that they can be no matter what anyone else tells them. In Aspire, a strong woman is depicted and she is reaching to the sky to grasp a star. She is what every woman should aspire to be.

This award is great for any woman young or old, who has made a breakthrough or needs a little inspiration to do so. When Oprah received this award, it was because of her outstanding work as not only a person, but as a woman who inspires all.

Don't settle for less in life just because of your sex. Reach for the stars with the Aspire recognition award.

Bennett Awards recently completed the development of a new custom awards project for Major League Soccer’s (MLS) Heritage Cup. The Heritage Cup is an annual rivalry competition between MLS teams that have taken on the names of the North American Soccer League (NASL) predecessors. 2009 was the inaugural competition for this award. This year’s competition was held between the San Jose Earthquakes and the Seattle Sounders FC soccer clubs. In 2011, the competition is expected to expand to four teams when the Portland Timbers and Vancouver Whitecaps join the MSL.

This unique custom awards design was commissioned by the Soccer Silicon Valley Community Foundation, a charitable non-profit to was formed to help create a permanent home for soccer in the Bay Area. The idea for these custom awards was developed by a fan, Rob Stevenson, who also developed the initial idea for the design. Bennett Awards worked closely with Mr. Stevenson to produce this unique awards design, which features a bronze cup designed to look like an old NASL soccer ball sitting atop a large, multi-tiered wood base. The upper base of the award includes an engraved plate with the competition’s name and logo, and the lower base features the names of the cup winners, which will be added each year of the competition. This unique award stands 2’ tall. A photo of the awards is available by clicking the following link: "MSL Heritage Cup Custom Awards".
