Two volunteer leaders have earned the Tyee Club’s highest honors for their longstanding, dedicated service and support for Washington student-athletes.
Ingrid Russell Narcisse, a standout Women’s Basketball player for the Huskies in the 1980s, received the Dave and Ruth Cohn Alumni Merit Award. The honor was established in 1988 to recognize a former letter winner who exemplifies integrity, leadership, sportsmanship and community involvement paralleling UW Athletics’ core values.
The Seattle Mariners’ Senior Director of Partnership Strategy and Activation, Ingrid serves as a member of the Boundless Futures Board and also mentors Women’s Basketball
student-athletes.
Native Washingtonian and 1959 UW grad Jim Kenyon earned the Frank Orrico Award, established in 1994 to recognize Tyee Club members who represent extraordinary dignity, courage, commitment and generosity to UW Athletics.
A California real estate developer and investor, Jim has committed more than three decades to supporting coaches and student-athletes as a volunteer and through his philanthropy. A Tyee Club member since its inception, Jim also served on the Tyee Board of Advisors and as a liaison to the Big W Club.
