US Awards Inc

In 1953, brothers Charles and Pete Dellasega wanted to start a business. The work ethic and formation that they had developed by playing sports high school set them up for success in college and in the military. So, a business that worked with sports, coaches, and athletes made sense. With the goal of recognizing student achievement and success they purchased a sewing machine to produce chenille awards for local athletes – and US Awards was born. In the years after its inception, military relationships and connections with veterans all over the country helped US Awards grow into a national operation. Today, we still call the same place home – Pittsburg, KS. But we have grown from a small shop that produced the best hand-sewn chenille patches to a large production facility, providing chenille letters and patches, jackets, metal inserts, banners, certificates, and medals to customers in all 50 states. The company has grown and evolved, but that same commitment to student achievement, quality, and timeliness that drove Charles and Pete remains the same.
