STEAK N’ BURGER DINNER HISTORY...

The concept for the dinner was effortless: bring together the kids served by, what was formerly, the Boys Club and the people that gave their time, energy and resources to the organization. It was a simple plan with a twist - to have the adults eat hamburgers while the youth dined on steaks! Thus, the Annual Steak n’ Burger was born in 1972.

Some folks were skeptical when J. W. “Bill” Brakebill of Memphis proposed a fund raising idea where adults paid money to eat hamburgers. However, that first event helped to balance the organization’s budget and kept doors open for the children in the city.

The Annual Steak n’ Burger was so successful that it began to attract notoriety from other Clubs across the nation. The idea caught on quickly and many Clubs today have adopted the fund raiser.

Generous supporters like you recognize that the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Memphis (BGCM) is a tangible investment by purchasing burgers...tens of thousands of them. Over the past 38 years this event has raised more than $5.8 million, helping to support over 5,000 youth annually in Memphis.

Some businesses start with a groundbreaking ceremony. Forty years ago, ours started with a groundbreaking idea.

SUCCESS STARTS EARLY.

Ellen Grimes & Kim Moore would like to recognize all of the Program, Athletic, & Education Directors of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Memphis.

BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF GREATER MEMPHIS HISTORY...

In September of 1955, at the home of John (Buddy) Thomason, a suggestion to work with juvenile delinquents opened the door of opportunity to thousands of young people. The 20-30 Club offered a space for young men to learn and grow and received its charter as a local chapter in February of 1956. As funds depleted, the 20-30 Club at Calvary was forced to close its doors in June of 1958. The group of men that had worked so hard to bring enrichment to the lives of many concurred that the job of youth guidance was one for professionals.

In 1958, the group severed its ties with the 20-30 after a close vote and decided to go local. A committee was appointed to pick a new name for the group and they decided upon The Phoenix. The name evolved from the mythological Phoenix bird which, after being destroyed, arose again from its own ashes - thus The Phoenix, Inc. was born.

The group chose to invest in a nationally recognized organization, the Boys Club of America (BGCA), and set out to raise the necessary funds to establish the first Boys Club in Memphis. In need of a strong foundation and Board of Directors, young men were invited to join when they could meet two basic requirements: (1.) A sincere interest in furthering the goals of the Club, and (2.) Potential for future leadership in the community.

With funds in hand and guidance from BGCA, The Phoenix set out to secure a facility and an Executive Director. In April of 1962, The Phoenix opened the first Memphis Boys Club. An outstanding, active citizen Board of Directors was recruited by The Phoenix and given the responsibility of operating the Club. The Phoenix pledged to raise $10,000 per year to help operate the facility. The principal source of operating funds was then secured from Shelby United Neighbors - a predecessor of the United Way of Greater Memphis.

In April of 1967, the Goodwill Boys Club was opened at 903 Walker Avenue, serving the Lemoyne Gardens area. Two years later, the Dixie Homes Goodwill Boys Club opened its doors. In 1969, the Boys Club assumed a lease from the U.S. Corps of Engineers for a 153-acre camp located on Sardis Lake in Mississippi. Camp Phoenix began operations and is now accredited by the American Camping Association; serving approximately 800 boys & girls each Summer. In 1973, the Boys Clubs of Memphis took an option on the St. Anthony building at 1100 Vollintine and in the fall of 1973 began equipping the building as the fourth Boys Club. It now stands as the John Dustin Buckman Boys & Girls Club. Between 1978-1979, the Ira Samelson, Jr. Boys Club opened in an abandoned YMCA building at 894 Isabelle. This Club replaced the Barksdale Club, and the facility located at Barksdale became the Central Office for the organization. The Boys Club of Memphis initiated a Capital/Endowment Drive in 1987 to create a fifth Boys Club. This effort led to the opening of the Southside Boys Club in the Spring of 1990. The Club was located on the site of the former Lincoln Junior High Gymnasium at 677 Richmond.

1996 became the year of change for the Boy’s Club. The organization followed Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s lead and the Boys Club of Memphis became the “Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Memphis”.

In 2000, the organization embarked on an aggressive Capital/Endowment Campaign to renovate, construct and establish new Clubs and a state of the art Technical Training Center.

In September of 2006, the Hickory Hill Boys & Girls Club opened at 4299 Ross Road. This facility has the most diverse population out of the other five Clubs in the city and had more than 500 members within its first year. Also in 2006, the Technical Training Center was constructed at the old Goodwill Club site. This center is a 24,000 sq. foot facility that houses Culinary Arts classes, Automotive Repair Training, and Logistics & Distribution programs for youth ages 17-21 years. The facility and the programs offered elevated the Memphis organization by making it the only Club in the country that offers the magnitude of services that it provides.

“Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration—of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine.”

IS PROUD TO SERVE AS THE 40TH ANNUAL STEAK N’ BURGER DINNER SPEAKER SPONSOR

SPECIAL THANKS TO TONIGHT’S

SPECIAL GUEST:

COACH NICK SABAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA

SPECIAL GUEST: COACH NICK SABAN

A man of vision who has a proven record of success, University of Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban has brought to Alabama a commitment to building a total football program. His uncompromising dedication to excellence in every phase of the program has resulted in the school’s 13th national championship and is sure to yield long-term success for the Crimson Tide as evidenced by the improvement in each of his three years at the helm.

A two-time National Coach of the Year, Saban has achieved success as a Head coach and has earned a reputation as an outstanding leader, organizer and motivator. Those qualities have sparked impressive turnarounds at every stop of his career. Saban’s consistent approach and disciplined leadership is a proven recipe for success.

Named the 27th head football coach in University of Alabama history, Saban owns an overall record of 139-67-1 in 16 seasons as a Head Coach, having also led programs at Louisiana State (LSU), Michigan State and Toledo, as well as in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins. At each of his five stops, he has improved the win-loss record in his first year when compared to the previous season.

Saban has compiled a 124-50-1 record as a Head Coach after season three at the University of Alabama. His Alabama team earned a spot in the title game with a resounding 32-13 win over defending National Champion Florida in the SEC Championship Game as the Crimson Tide moved to No. 1 in both major polls. Saban produced the largest win increase from year one to year two in school history as the Tide went from a seven-win team in 2007 to 12 wins in 2008. Alabama swept through the regular season schedule with a 12-0 record, moving to the No. 1 in all of the polls and capturing the SEC Western Division Championship before falling late to Florida in a hard-fought SEC Championship Game.

Saban took over the Alabama program after serving two seasons at the helm of the Miami Dolphins. Saban’s teams showed marked improvement over the unit he inherited. Taking over a team that finished 4-12 in 2004, Saban led the 2005 Dolphins to a 9-7 record, the third-biggest turnaround in the NFL that season and the secondhighest victory turnaround for a Dolphins team in any nonstrike season. Most impressively, the Dolphins finished 2005 on a six-game winning streak, the longest streak in the NFL that season.

Prior to his stint at Miami, Saban’s impact on the Louisana State University program transcended the success on the field. His commitment to building the total football program, placing education first, instilling discipline and responsibility on and off the field transformed the Tigers into a force on the national stage.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

Psalm 91: 1-2

you will be dearly missed, bernal, by all of those whose lives you touched.

COMMERCIAL APPEAL

NEW INITIATIVE THE HERITAGE CLUB...

The Heritage Club is an association of friends of Boys & Girls Clubs from all over the United States. Like you, these people seek to ensure that the future needs of our nation’s youth are met by including Boys & Girls Clubs in their estate plan. This planning may include a will, a charitable gift, a trust or even an insurance policy.

When you join The Heritage Club, Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) will provide through your local Club:

1. A welcome letter and The Heritage Club lapel pin that indicates your leadership in the mission to create a strong future for our nation’s youth.

2. A periodic publication with information on tax and estate planning.

3. National recognition in the Annual Heritage Club Report. Your local Club could also provide additional benefits or recognition.

BGCM offers positive alternatives to youth who are constantly surrounded by negative influences, showing them how to live productive lives. Since 1860, Clubs have provided safe havens offering quality programs and important relationships with nurturing and reliable adults.

Boys & Girls Clubs give their members, ages 6-18 years, access to dedicated professionals who can provide guidance in adopting healthy lifestyles and pursuing educational objectives. Most importantly, Boys & Girls Clubs equip youth with the skills that they need to resolve conflicts peacefully, improve their relationships within every aspect of their lives and function as responsible and citizens.

Support through a planned gift will ensure that future generations will have the opportunity to live successful and productive lives in a safe, positive and caring environment.

Contact Alex Turner at 901-278-2947 or alext@bgcm.org.
