A tradition of showing up.
The club’s story reaches back well before its modern nonprofit paperwork. The Greenbrier High School Athletic Hall of Fame identifies Ernest “Son” Williams as a charter member and dates the club’s organization to the early 1970s.
- Early 1970s
The club takes shape
GAC was organized to back the GHS football program. Charter member Son Williams was also among Greenbrier’s first Junior Pro football coaches. Read his Hall of Fame biography ↗
A federal nonprofit milestone
Public IRS records list tax-exempt status beginning in March 2000. That is a tax-status date, separate from the club’s earlier community beginnings. Nonprofit record ↗
Investing in Bobcat Stadium
Twenty men signed a promissory note to finance major stadium renovations. Main Street’s account credits private fundraising and community support for the project.
The stadium debt is paid
The renovation note was paid off more than eight years early. The club celebrated with a note-burning ceremony at halftime of the November 1 Greenbrier–White House game. Main Street report · November 21, 2019 ↗
Why “over 50 years”? The Hall of Fame dates GAC’s organization to the early 1970s, supporting more than 50 years of service by 2026. An exact founding year has not yet been established here.

A familiar request.
A lasting purpose.
