On Sunday, September 2, 2007, the Ohio Civil Rights Commission, the Columbus Community Relations Commission, the Ohio Commission on Hispanic and Latino Affairs, and the Columbus Crew held a kick-off event for Hispanic Heritage Month.

At this event sixteen Hispanic-American young adults from across the state were honored for their volunteer work and community service. This awards ceremony represented the opportunity to publicly recognize our young Hispanic population for their contribution to Ohio and their communities. In addition to being honored, each honoree will received four tickets to the Crew Game and the opportunity to meet civil rights leaders from the sponsoring organizations.
