📌 16 June 2025 | 5PM

We have another exciting speaker lined up for our June 16 dinner, everyone is welcome to attend. Our speaker will be long time FSU Hall of Fame football coach Jim Gladden (now retired), innovator of the “FSU Block Party” (punt, field goal, and extra point block) made famous in the 1980’s. His kick block innovations contributed to many FSU victories during his four decades at FSU. (70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 00’s) He changed college football. His innovations caused opposing coaches to change their formations and kick protections used at the High School, College, and NFL levels. He also coached many All American edge pass rushers as well as first round draft choices. Jim is an outstanding speaker who was in great demand on the football speaking circuit when he was actively coaching.

The registration window is open and will close Sunday, June 8. Please use the link below to register. Dinner costs covers happy hour, dinner, and speaker. $28 for members, $30 non-members.
