Before the biggest names in sports were celebrated for their championship achievements at the Espys, the Fifth Annual ESPN Sports Humanitarian Awards once again celebrated the positive things that athletes do on Tuesday night.
Ciara hosted the VIP event at L.A. Live’s The Novo in Los Angeles for the first time, with singer Andy Grammer warming up the audience with a lively rendition of “Honey, I’m Good” before they honored those who give back.
