TESTIMONIALS
“I just wanted to take a minute and personally thank the Touchdown Club for what it is doing to support high school athletics. You are allowing us as Coaches and Administrators to do things for these kids that otherwise would not happen. Your support has been very much appreciated here at Parkwood and we will never be able to say thanks enough. The recognition that you guys gave to Grey Wyrick at the 2013 Bronko Nagurski Awards Banquet was overwhelming and moving. You and the Touchdown Club are making a difference in our sport and in our schools.”
“I wanted to send a quick THANK YOU to the Charlotte Touchdown Club for your support of CMS middle school sports this year. I did not know of your donation until our "Save Middle Sports" meeting this week. Thank you so much for making sports possible for my son and all the kids of public middle schools. Your gift is much appreciated.”
"ACN is proud of our association with the Charlotte Touchdown Club and its mission of promoting Citizenship, Scholarship, Sportsmanship and Leadership. Serving as the Presenting Sponsor for the Bronko Nagurski Awards Banquet has become an important annual tradition for us and one we always look forward to. In fact, everyone at ACN strives to embody the qualities of hard work, determination and dedication to excellence that have become synonymous with the Trophy finalists. Through our partnership, we¹ve had the honor of watching boys become men, athletes become leaders and NFL hopefuls become champions gaining far more in return than we could ever hope to give.”
“As a longtime member of the Charlotte Touchdown Club, Diamond Springs has been in a position to develop relationships with some of Charlotte's finest citizens. The organization is first class from top to bottom and the speakers are sensational. Every year we look forward to the luncheons and the annual banquet which has turned into a national happening. Every Sunday during football season as we watch an all pro lineman, linebacker or defensive back make a big play we find ourselves saying, "He was a Bronko Nagurski finalist!" It's truly an honor and a privilege to be a member of this fine organization that gives back so much to the community it serves.”
“As a founding member of the Charlotte Touchdown Club and 1st Super Bowl Sponsor I have had the privilege of watching the Club grow from back rooms to small lunches to now National exposure with the Bronko Nagurski Award. The monthly meetings provide a great Business networking opportunity and I know that throughout the years I have leveraged this prominent Luncheon Speakers series and the Bronko as my #1 Client/Customer events. I also use these as a reward for our Sales Teams and employee and they love it! The mission of the Club to “give back and make a difference” makes me very proud to be a small part of the success and for 23 years and I have taken great pride in attending every event I can.”
