Super Bowl Champion and current NBC Sports Analyst Drew Brees will make a trip to the Rocket City this summer. Brees will serve as a guest at the annual “Leaders and Legends” Dinner. The annual event, which is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Boys & Girls Club of North Alabama, will take place on Wednesday, July 27th at the Von Braun Center. 

This fundraising event is critical to the success of the Boys & Girls Club organization, which depends on proceeds from the event to continue its mission to inspire and enable local youth to reach for their potential.

Please visit https://www.bgcnal.com/leaders-legends for more information about the event. Sponsorship opportunities are still available. Please contact Beth Morring at 256-520-6500 to reserve your table now.

Boys & Girls Clubs in communities across North Alabama provide a safe place to go after school and during the summer for youth ages 5-18. We fill the gap between school and home with life-changing programs, experiences, and mentorship programs that focus on three core areas of development: ACADEMIC SUCCESS / HEALTHY LIFESTYLES / CHARACTER & CITIZENSHIP
