INVEST IN CHARACTER......BE A SPONSOR!
Sponsorships NOW Available For The 2019 Champions of Character, presented by International Paper !
This year we are proud to recognize and honor Coach Bruce Pearl, head coach of the Auburn Tigers men’s basketball program, as the 2019 Champion of Character. Coach Pearl arrived on the Plains in March 2014. He led Auburn to the SEC Tournament semifinals in 2015 as a 13 seed, ended Auburn’s 18-game losing streak to Kentucky in 2016, and earned his 500th career win as a head coach in January 2017.
Despite the challenges faced in the 2017-2018 season, both internally and externally, Pearl led this team to its best record since 1999 while winning the SEC regular season championship. And, in 2018-2019 season, Pearl’s team won the SEC Conference Tournament and played in the NCAA Final Four Tournament for the first time in Auburn’s basketball history. During his tenure at Auburn, Pearl has shown his commitment and determination to build a program against tough competition, while instilling character in leadership and selflessness to inspire greatness in others. Character traits he has shown include loyalty, resilience, diligence, endurance and enthusiasm, just to name a few.
Coach Pearl is also known for the difference he is making off the court. The Bruce Pearl Family Foundation, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to providing support to children and families facing challenging and life altering illnesses. From talks to golf tournaments to community service, AUTLive, Fore the Children, and Bruce Barkley and Basketball, are helping to make lives better. Some of the many organizations benefitting this year include Russell Medical Foundation, Smile-A-Mile, Coosa Valley Medical Center, Children’s of Alabama, East Alabama Medical Center, Joy to Life, aTeam Ministry, Children’s Harbor, Russel Hill Cancer Foundation and the Montgomery Cancer Center.
Perhaps, Coach Pearl’s character shined the brightest on national television when he and his team showed us how to be humble with dignity and class, when they were heartbroken after losing their biggest game ever. It’s for these reasons and many more why the Prattvillle-Autauga Character Coalition, a non-profit organization committed to teaching and promoting good character among our citizens, has selected Bruce Pearl to receive the 2019 Champion of Character Award!
