They received the 2019 Game Changer Award. The project also received the 2019 MANDI Award.

A special recognition was awarded to Edwin from Bethesda Elementary School in Waukesha by his principal, Mr. Martin. Edwin received the Junior Coach of the Year medal for his transformation as a 4th grade leader in his school.
