Gipper's NADC Hall of Fame Party

You spend all year pouring into your athletes, coaches, and communities. During NADC, it's time to celebrate you.

On Sunday, December 14th, we’re transforming The Island Bar at Jackson’s Bar & Bistro into a private, fully immersive Gipper experience. This isn’t just another conference party — this is the marquee event of NADC.

Here’s what you’re stepping into:

✨ Top-shelf open bar — the best, flowing all night

🔥 Steak carving station &  fresh sushi — high-end, high-quality, nonstop  

🌴 Premium indoor–outdoor waterfront location  — the perfect backdrop

🚶 5-minute walk from convention center  — easy access from the heart of NADC

And then the moment everyone will be waiting for:

📣 The live reveal of the Gipper Hall of Fame – Class of 2025 inductees!

Right there. At the Island Bar. With the spotlight on the inductees who are redefining what leadership looks like in high school athletics.

What you need to know:

🌺 Your Gipper lei = your ticket

Each registered guest must stop by the Gipper booth (1204) to secure your Gipper lei, which serves as your physical “ticket” into the party.

🎟 Tickets are free, but space is limited.

Once we’re full, we’re full — so if you know you want to be there, grab your spot now!

This is your night to relax, recharge, and be reminded that what you do really matters. We can’t wait to celebrate with you.

PS: there will be photography and video taken during the event. By attending, you’re comfortable with us using images from the event in our Gipper marketing communications. We also trust attendees to act respectfully and responsibly, and you agree to attend at your own discretion. If alcohol is served, you affirm you are of legal drinking age if you choose to partake.
