Lunch/Dinner and Tour with Coach Bill Curry
The work done by the 2020 GIPA IP Community Service Award winners is invaluable. Accordingly, GIPA wants to reward the lead sponsors of the 2020 ceremony with an extra thank you that is similarly priceless. Each top tier sponsor can designate two people to attend a private lunch/dinner at the Bold Monk Brewing Co. with football playing, coaching, and commentating legend Bill Curry. (Bill is also a GIPA IP Legend, class of 2012.) Lunch/dinner with Bill will include a personal tour of Bill’s office with memorabilia sure to give goosebumps to any longtime football fan. Lunch/dinner attendees will all receive an autographed copy of Bill’s book, Ten Men You Meet in the Huddle. To ensure plenty of one-on-one time with Bill, no lunch/dinner will include more than six sponsors/attendees. Please note the timing of the lunch/dinner will be contingent upon the pandemic status during the latter months of 2020 and beginning months of 2021.
