2011 Crossroads Annual Report<br />

Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, shared<br />

high pra<strong>is</strong>e for h<strong>is</strong> friends Pat and Emmitt Smith,<br />

the recipients of the 2010 Robert S. Folsom Leadership<br />

Award last fall.<br />

“I know a competitor when I see one, and in <strong>th<strong>is</strong></strong><br />

case I see two — two amazing competitors who<br />

put that spirit and energy … into things that really,<br />

really matter,” the master of ceremonies said.<br />

“When they set their minds to achieve something,<br />

it always happens.”<br />

Cuban was not just referring to the former Dallas<br />

Cowboy’s record-setting athletic abilities or dance<br />

moves on Dancing With the Stars. Nor was he<br />

solely focused on Mrs. Smith’s acting talent<br />

or achievement as the first African American<br />

M<strong>is</strong>s Virginia and runner-up M<strong>is</strong>s USA contestant.<br />

He was most importantly considering the Smiths’<br />

abundant service work outside of their professions<br />

that earned them the Folsom Leadership Award<br />

for 2010.<br />

Because of <strong>your</strong> generosity and support, the<br />

award dinner ra<strong>is</strong>ed $957,000 to benefit indigent<br />

care programs and services throughout Method<strong>is</strong>t<br />
