ALL SPORTS ASSOCIATION

For 34 years, the All Sports Association has brought together the finest athletes in Northwest Florida each February at their annual Awards Dinner designed to honor the area’s top High School, Collegiate, Amateur, Professional and Special Olympic athletes, and individuals who have fostered youth activities.

The All Sports Association membership is made up of dues paying volunteers whose primary mission is to provide contributions of time and money to local youth oriented non-profit organizations with an emphasis on sports programs. The group puts in tireless hours, over 1000 annually, promoting their awards banquet and other fundraising events to better sports in our area. The banquet is consistently sold out and has become one of the most sought after tickets you will find. College head coaches from all over the nation request to attend the banquet, as the association promotes the Emerald Coast as the hotbed of college recruiting in the South. Along with guest coaches, keynote speakers also add to the prestige of the dinner. Names such as Tommy Lasorda, Joe Paterno, Lewis Grizzard, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Theismann, Roy Firestone, Gene Stallings, Rocky Bleier, Mike Ditka, Bobby Bowden and Archie Manning are just a sampling of the celebrities that the All Sports Association has attracted to our area.

But behind the scenes is where the group performs an invaluable service to our area. Through the efforts of the association with the annual banquet, the sale of auction memorabilia, the solicitation of corporate sponsors for the banquet and its annual golf tournament, the group helps fund numerous worthwhile sports organizations and charitable causes. Main beneficiaries of the awards banquet are the local YMCA, Boys and Girls Club and Special Olympics. At last year’s banquet, the group donated a total of $70,000 to these organizations. Also, during the course of the year, the group donates funds for requests such as travel expenses for local little leagues, repairing basketball courts, equipment for local sports programs and many other worthy causes. In the 34 years of its existence, the group has given back approximately $750,000 to deserving local charitable and sports organizations.
