So what do you do with all your medals?

Just kind of curious as to what you guys (and girls) do with all medals/trophies that you have won over the years competing.

Me personally, I have no choice but keep them at the moment as they are displaced all around my moms place. I feel it’s tacky and somewhat showboating.

I mean, maybe I would be somewhat proud if the medals were real (ie, real gold) but it’s nothing more then cheap plastic with my name on it.

When my mother passes away she has no idea that i’m going to coldly put all medals in a box and throw it away. I’m a minimalist and I don’t believe in holding on to things for sentimental reasons.

Anyhow, and a bit off topic, I think high school and collage place winners should get a basic paper certificate and some of the meet money. I just don’t get it, a lot of money goes into the meets and the hard working athletes get nothing but a cheap medal they can’t even take to the pawn shop.

Donate them to the local YMCA or other non-profit. They can replace your name and give them out, saving them money.
