• Most Influential Africn-American: Athletic Achievement Award
  On February 5, 2000, Lake County Chiefs' team owners Arlee and Margery A. Williams, Jr. were honored as Most Influential African American's int eh community for Athletic Achievement. The award was presented by Betty Curry, Personal Secretary to President Bill Clinton. This award highlighted the continuous effort displayed by the Williams', not only as athletic pioneers in the Lake County area, but also their positive influence as citizens to their area. To quote the speech given by Mr. and Mrs. Williams in acceptance of the award, "....we treat our players, coaches and fans like family. When you show individuals that you care, you tend to get a positive response back from them. We feel that if we can take that one athlete off of the streets that can influence him possibly in the wrong direction, or get that fan off the streets and into the stands for just a couple of hours, that's a couple of hours that can sway that individal into a positive direction and hopefully influence them into doing something positive.... and if they turn out to be a great athlete on the field - that's a reflection of the Chiefs as well. We are not out there to save someone in the community from all of the evils of the world, but if our positive image can get our youth to say to themselves "....hey, that player grew up in my neighborhood, I can do what he's doing out there...", that to me seems like a better goal to reach for than some of the other negative influences our children are faced with. It takes a community to raise a child, the Lake County Chiefs are only a small piece of the puzzle.... let's continue to grow and make our community one of the strongest in the Chicago area, and let's bring a Championship home to our community as well!"
