The Young Business Leaders’ Spring Luncheon

 

On Tuesday, the 1st of April, 2009 

Eleven thirty AM 

The Hilton Hotel

 

Our distinguished speaker will be  

John F. Croyle
former Alabama defensive end and member
of the 1973 National Championship team under Bear Bryant.

 

John F. Croyle is one of Alabama football’s most known players.  As a former defensive end for the University of Alabama, he and his team won the National Championship in 1973 under Bear Bryant.  Upon graduation, John could have gone on to play professional football, but God was calling him elsewhere. 

Since age nineteen, Croyle had a passion for working with children of all ages, especially troubled youths.   Instead of pursing a career in football, Croyle pressed on towards his real dream, creating the best children’s home in America.  In 1974 that dream became a reality.  Big Oak Ranch has been running effectively for over 30 years touching the lives of children.  The Ranch offers each child a Christian home and environment, as well as education and the tools they need for the rest of their lives.  John’s philosophy has always been “A hundred years from now it will not matter what kind of house we lived in, the kind of car we drove or how much money we had in the bank, but the world may be different because you and I were important in the life of a child.”  Come and hear how this philosophy has impacted his life.
