Urban Meyer, three-time national championship-winning college football coach, will be the guest speaker at the All Sports Association’s 56th Annual Awards Banquet on February 21, 2025.

The event, a cornerstone for the association, honors outstanding athletes and contributors to youth sports in the area.

Kevin Bowyer, president of the association, expressed enthusiasm about Meyer’s participation. “We are thrilled to have Urban Meyer as our guest speaker this year,” Bowyer said. “His contributions to college football and his commitment to nurturing young talent make him a perfect fit for our event.”

The banquet celebrates top athletes from various levels, including high school, college, amateur, professional, and Special Olympics. It also recognizes individuals who have made notable efforts in promoting youth activities.

Several awards will be presented at the event, including the Wuerffel Trophy for college football players excelling in community service and academics, the Colonel Al Byrne Award for local supporters of youth sports, and the Taylor Haugen Trophy for area athletes demonstrating balance in various aspects of life.

The All Sports Association, a non-profit organization based in Fort Walton Beach, has raised over $2 million in the last decade to support local youth sports programs and charitable causes. Key beneficiaries include the Boys & Girls Club of the Emerald Coast, Special Olympics Florida-Okaloosa, Eleanor J. Johnson Youth Center, and Okaloosa Walton FCA.

“This event is more than just a celebration; it’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of our young athletes and the community that supports them,” Bowyer added.

More information about the event is available on the association’s official website and Facebook page.
