Seahawks honor Antonio Sanchez with Hispanic Heritage Award

Before he added Doctor to his title, Antonio Sanchez came to Seattle in 1976 to work towards his PhD at the University of Washington. That same year, a certain NFL franchise kicked off its inaugural season at the Kingdome.

Four decades later, both Sanchez and the Seahawks have made their mark on the region, though in very different ways, and with the NFL celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, the Seahawks last week presented Dr. Sanchez (CWU's Assistant Director of Government Relations) with the NFL Hispanic Heritage Leadership Award. Each NFL team presents an award this month, which recognize the contributions of Hispanic leaders in each NFL market.
