The Chuck Ealey Undefeated Spirit Foundation has resumed its Undefeated Spirit Essay Contest, which had been on hiatus since 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Established by Mr. Ealey, a former University of Toledo stand-out quarterback, Undefeated Spirit started as a way to honor UT Rocket athletes. In 2012 it was expanded to recognize high school students annually for their integrity and spirit.
