2022 Winner: n/a 2019 Winner: St. Catherine’s High School Award biography: Edna S. Christensen  1899-1988  In late April of 1937, the newly-elected mayor of Racine, Roy Spencer, gathered together a group of community leaders, largely drawn from business, industry and labor circles. At that meeting the Goodwill Committee was formed, consisting of 25 men and one woman, Edna Christensen. The goal of this committee was to arrange a return of civility to the beleaguered city.  Christensen held the position of secretary for 30 years (1937-1967). In 1952, she took on the added responsibility of treasurer.  The city of Racine employed Christensen as manager of Memorial Hall for 19 years. At the same time, she was secretary/treasurer of Horlick Athletic Field. From 1944 to 1947 she served as business manager of the Racine Belles of the All-American Girls Baseball League.  Having studied dance under Jesse Walters Northrup, Christensen later owned her own dance studio in Racine. She served as president of the Chicago National Association of Dance Masters from 1946 to 1955 and later became its secretary/treasurer.  Since 1978, the Edna Christensen trophy has been awarded to one of the top three floats entered in the Non-Industrial Division.
