About the Award

The Reed Packard Award.

Reed Packard was the club photographer for the newsletter cover from 1972 through December 1985.

The award was created in his name in honor of his exceptional service and contribution to the San Fernando Valley Flyers.


In November 2016, the award was renamed to the Willie Gardner Award in honor of Willie Gardner, who served as the Valley Flyers and Glendale Field manager through 2014.
