All Sports Association has announced that Urban Meyer will be the guest speaker for its 56th Annual All Sports Awards Banquet, set for February 21st, 2025. This banquet is a key event for the association, honoring outstanding athletes and people who have significantly contributed to youth sports in the area.

Urban Meyer, who has won 3 national championships at the University of Florida and Ohio State University, brings extensive knowledge and dedication to athletics. His participation is expected to enhance the event, giving attendees valuable insights into sports leadership and dedication.

Kevin Bowyer, the association's President, shared his excitement about Meyer's involvement. "We're excited to welcome Urban Meyer as our guest speaker this year. His remarkable impact on college football and dedication to developing young athletes make him an ideal choice for our event. Our mission is to inspire and honor excellence in athletics, and Coach Meyer’s presence perfectly supports that vision," Bowyer said.

Held every February, the Annual Awards Banquet celebrates top athletes from high school, college, amateur, professional, and Special Olympic levels. It also acknowledges individuals who have made notable efforts in promoting youth activities. Several prestigious awards are given out, including the Wuerffel Trophy, the Colonel Al Byrne Award and the Taylor Haugen Trophy.

The Wuerffel Trophy is awarded to a college football player who shines not only on the field but also in community service and academics. The Colonel Al Byrne Award goes to a local individual who has shown exceptional support for youth sports. The Taylor Haugen Trophy, established in memory of Taylor Reid Haugen, a Niceville High School wide receiver who tragically passed away from football injuries in 2009, is awarded to an area athlete who best demonstrates a balance between academics, athleticism, leadership, community service and faith.

Based in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, the All Sports Association is a non-profit organization focused on supporting local youth sports programs. Founded in 1970, the association has raised over $2 million in the last ten years, thanks to its volunteers and supporters. These funds help various youth sports organizations and charitable causes, fostering the development of young athletes.

Key beneficiaries include the Boys & Girls Club of the Emerald Coast, Special Olympics Florida-Okaloosa, Eleanor J. Johnson Youth Center, and Okaloosa Walton FCA. The association's dedication to youth sports and community development is also seen in its Hall of Fame, which honors individuals who've made significant contributions to sports in Northwest Florida.

For those interested in attending or supporting the event, more information is available on the official website and their Facebook page.

All Sports Association continues to celebrate and support youth athletics. The 56th Annual Awards Banquet promises to be another memorable event that aligns with their mission of fostering community spirit through sports. "This event is more than a celebration; it’s a tribute to the hard work and dedication of our young athletes and the community that stands behind them. Urban Meyer's presence adds an extra layer of inspiration, and we hope his words will leave a lasting impact on everyone involved," Bowyer said.
