The Mobile Sports Hall of Fame is pleased to announce a five-year partnership with Regions Bank and Alabama Power to be the Title Sponsors of the annual induction banquet beginning in 2014. The Mobile Sports Hall of Fame was created in 1988 to honor the men and women that form the backdrop for one of our nation’s greatest sports legacies. Entering its 26^th year with the 2014 class, 108 world-class athletes, legendary coaches and championship teams are enshrined among its inductees.

On May 22, The MSHOF will induct their 26^th class into the Hall of Fame.  The banquet will be held at The Battle House Hotel. Joe Gottfried, Chairman of the Board, is very appreciative and thankful to Regions and Alabama Power for their continued support of the community.  In addition to the banquet, there will be two clinics for kids during the summer.  One will be a football clinic and the other will be an all sports clinic.  Both sports clinics will be co-sponsored by Regions and Alabama Power.

In addition, Alabama Power and Regions Bank will have a visible presence in the soon-to-be permanent museum home of the Mobile Sports Hall of Fame in the Garden Lobby of the RSA Tower in downtown Mobile, Alabama.

Comments from Alabama Power:

Mike Saxon, Vice-President of the Mobile District for Alabama Power, “Alabama Power is pleased to partner with Regions in sponsoring the Mobile Sports Hall of Fame. Over the years, the Mobile community has been home to many great athletes. Since 1988, more than 100 Mobilians have been admitted to the Hall of Fame.  It’s gratifying to help sponsor a project like this one that honors native Mobilians and showcases their achievements.  

We hope that folks along the Gulf Coast and throughout the state will visit the Hall of Fame to learn more about these incredible athletes and their successes – both on and off the field.”  

Comments from Regions Bank:

Brian Willman, South Alabama Regional President, Regions Bank, “Our mission at Regions is to make life better for our customers and the communities we serve.  We have a long tradition of supporting our communities in many ways and we are excited to partner with Alabama Power on the Mobile Sports Hall of Fame sponsorship.  We are proud to be associated with an institution that recognizes Mobilians whose success in athletics serves as a source of pride and inspiration to us all.  

Regions believes there is no easy way to success and while it's human nature to focus on the last race, match or game, we know true success is much more than that.  Commitment, sacrifice and integrity define the men and women who belong to this hall of fame and these are the characteristics that inspire us.”
