Kit Pardee Award

Upon formation in 2006, one of the HOF’s primary missions was to establish an award to be made each year to the deserving AEHS male and female student-athletes.  The award for the female student-athlete is named in honor of Kit Pardee, one of the most accomplished and courageous athletes in Einstein history.  Kit had established her annual award prior to the formation of the Hall of Fame, and upon her induction into the HOF in 2006, expressed her desire to have this award be made under the auspices of the HOF.   The Hall of Fame is now honored to have its annual award for the Outstanding Female Student Athlete be made in honor Kit Pardee!

Kit was a pioneer in female athletics before adoption of Title IX, participating in basketball, softball, track and tennis during her career at Einstein. 

Kit went on to play basketball and field hockey at the University of Maryland, where she completed her undergraduate work in 1977.  Serious injuries sustained in a car accident tragically ended Kit’s athletic career, but she went on to receive her law degree from Catholic University, is now a practicing attorney and remains a strong advocate for women’s athletics.  Kit is a 2006 HOF Inductee and remains active in support of Einstein athletics and the HOF. 

Thanks to the generosity of our loyal HOF supporters, the Kit Pardee Award has been made to deserving female AEHS student-athletes in 2008 and 2009.  With your support, the Kit Pardee Award will continue to be a goal each year for Einstein athletes, as well as a living testimonial to the courage, determination and leadership of Kit Pardee.  

Thank you for your support!
