The Rod Carew Leadership Award, named for the Hall of Famer who spent most of his career with the Minnesota Twins, is presented annually to a person or organization who makes a difference in the lives of patients who received marrow donations and their families. Past winners include Carew, NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon and "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts.
