A team takes credit for chairman's for something they didn't do?

[aeastet]

What do you do when a team takes credit for something they didn't do for the Chairman's award?

Let say that a previous mentor started a FIRST community center and found a home for the team that he was on. The team decided that he was no longer welcome on that team anymore but now wants to take credit for establishing the community center for chairman's even thought no one other than the mentor that was kicked off of the team was responsible for the start up of this center. The reasoning behind them wanting to take credit is that the mentor was part of the team when the season started.

Is this a legitimate reason to claim that they where part of it even though the person that did all of the work is gone?
