The Medalist Club is pleased and proud to welcome McAlister's Deli to the growing family of benefactors who give their support to Alabama Gymnastics. Medalist Club member and long time Alabama Gymnastics fan Lewis Loeb (Culverhouse School of Business, Alabama '82) who is also the chief Financial Officer at McAlister's announced a quarterly unrestricted cash donation of $ 1000 and was present with his daughter Jennie at the Georgia meet Friday night. The Loebs make the 3 hour drive from their home in Ridgeland Mississippi for all of Bama's home meets. Lewis and his family will be honored guests at the Penn State meet and will present flowers to the event winners at that meet. Bama Gym fans wherever you are can thank McAlister's for their support of the team by making regular visits to your local McAlister's Deli. Thank you Mr. Loeb and McAlister's.

The Medalist Club has recently undertaken an effort to increase the involvement of businesses in our area.
