Nick Saban to Headline Business Council of Alabama’s Premier Event in Birmingham

Nick Saban, the legendary University of Alabama football coach who recently announced his retirement, is set to be the star attraction at the Business Council of Alabama’s (BCA) highly anticipated annual ‘Evening for Progress’ event. Scheduled for October 16 in Birmingham, this event promises an evening filled with insights and inspiration as Saban shares his experiences from a remarkable career.

The event serves a significant purpose, with proceeds directly benefiting ProgressPAC, the political arm of the BCA. ProgressPAC is dedicated to fostering a business-friendly environment and promoting job creation across Alabama through strategic political engagement.

Corporate sponsorship opportunities are currently available, offering businesses a chance to participate in this prestigious event. Sponsorship packages range from $2,500, which includes seating for two, to an exclusive $50,000 package that not only provides premium seating but also a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity and a seat at Saban’s table.

Will Wilson, the chairman of ProgressPAC, expressed his enthusiasm for the event, emphasizing its uniqueness. “We are thrilled to welcome the greatest football coach of all time, the legendary Coach Nick Saban, to Birmingham for the Evening for Progress. With Coach now retired, opportunities to hear from him are rare, and this is definitely a night you won’t want to miss,” Wilson stated.

The Evening for Progress stands as the cornerstone fundraising event for ProgressPAC, playing a crucial role in supporting its mission of creating a favorable business climate in Alabama. The event is expected to draw BCA members along with prominent business and government leaders from across the state.

While the specific venue has yet to be announced, the previous year’s event took place at the Sheraton Hotel in Birmingham, setting a high standard for this year’s gathering.
