Schedule For Monday, November 4, 2019
On Monday night, November 4th, the Macon Touchdown Club will welcome Gary Stokan, CEO and president of Peach Bowl, Inc., as our featured speaker.
Gary P. Stokan is CEO and president of Peach Bowl, Inc., a position he has held since 1998. As CEO and president of Peach Bowl, Inc., which has generated an economic impact of more than $1.05 billion and $64.2 million in direct government tax revenue for the city of Atlanta and state of Georgia since 1999, Stokan has positioned the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl as one of the best bowl game organizations in the nation, and earned the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl a position as a New Year’s Six bowl game in the College Football Playoff along with the Rose, Sugar, Orange, Fiesta and Cotton Bowls. This year, the CFP rewarded the Bowl with a six year extension to remain part of the New Year’s Six and host future CFP Semifinal games in 2019, 2022 and 2025. Stokan also inked an eight year contract with Mercedes-Benz Stadium through 2025.
Under Stokan’s leadership, the Bowl has enjoyed sellouts in 18 of the past 20 years, earning the second-longest sellout record in the Bowl business, has distributed more than $173 million in team payouts, and is college football’s most charitable bowl organization – having given $31.6 million since 2002 – which garnered the Atlanta Small Business Philanthropic Award. Most recently, Peach Bowl, Inc. was named a Top 10 Small Business in Atlanta by Business Leader Media, and was also presented with the Phoenix Award, the highest honor an individual or group can receive from the mayor of Atlanta.
